This was never the issue.
We have planes to send the vdi interfaces to qemu, we just open sourced
spice, it take time.

I think you guys totaly didnt understand us.

We will send patchs to qemu-devel adding the vdi interfaces.

But again spice itself is library and it have more than one user other
than qemu, so the way the protocol work is spice specific and not qemu
specific.

And this why we are adding the VDI interfaces, it allow qemu to work
with whatever library the users will want to use.

What so bad about that?
