I thought 'micro-checkpoint' was too long, particularly > in the ./configure output and the QEMU Monitor 'help' command output =3D= ) For ./configure output, short is fine. For QMP, it's a programmatic interface, and management programs like libvirt have no problem outputting longer names. Where the longer names are nice is when reading logs generated by a management program, as we tried hard to make the QMP wire format still seem more or less legible to a human, even though humans aren't the primary driver of the interface. At the end of the day, though, the name doesn't matter, so it's not worth arguing what color to paint the bikeshed - you as author have some sway on what name you want :) --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --0IVq6WxUehpBHTs4H3CdmBlLvIo53Ji11 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJTPjOQAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqKT0H/REUz8fA/jmtKWnuN4hYpycN WIQn4ITepurDLcs0pUUyw98JQpCA/cZsm1e0HizpeiMv8gDDzxuahVGLScA6MvTY 8YExB9NCAtdE8LgdtLbHLiV7hmG4UBgBUKcqDSFa26iwLudLNGJ4OU626BeAaKoB fQlOPO5oSF9gZilwfSSAZoyognaXvehOYrNezxrf9FXZwOVIcaNZRQFgQ30dELOy g0zp9RKt8KSka4HnnxpyAWJ+9B3dVjneRc/B4xO2o7U7+Re2ayGf1LZ3qYSr0XMh SBnKZNUS1j74Mdo5oinRf1AAD6TVfkHQ79qwf2B3BqPqpdKZCWz2mVKHP2TWm6Y= =UtrM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --0IVq6WxUehpBHTs4H3CdmBlLvIo53Ji11--
