The question is whether it's good enough if we change the semantics as long as we guarantee the original purposes of when introducing those flags would be enough (nvdimm, kata, etc.), as anything introduced in qemu can potentially be used elsewhere too. David, could you share your concern on simply "having a new flag, while keeping all existing flags unchanged on behavior"? You mentioned it's not wanted, but I didn't yet see the reason behind.
