[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] spice: set merge-lists

[Gerd Hoffmann]

This way you can use -spice multiple times on the command line
and qemu will actually pick up all options.

Is this actually a good thing to have? vnc doesn't have it for example.
Perhaps some day we may want to have -spice for difference server
instances? (although there are some parameters that would be global, like
gl/rendernode)

Is that likely?  The use case for multiple vnc server instances is
multiple displays, which is not a problem for spice because it has
better multihead support.  Also spice-server library doesn't support
multiple instances today, are there plans to actually change that?

But, yes, if we want multiple instances some day this is probably a bad
idea ...

cheers,
