Yea, I know this has been the plan for a long time and I agree that it
is a good move.
Only problem is that the switch didn't happen yet. The bits might be
landed in libvirt/master, but there is no release with this yet and thus
libvirt versions using QOM for feature detection didn't find the way yet
into distributions.
IMO it is a bit early to stop caring about -help output compatibility in
qemu.

Gerd
