  37 # Policy for handling deprecated management interfaces.

  39 # This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces.
  40 #
  41 # Limitation: covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged
  42 # with feature 'deprecated'.  We may want to extend it to cover
  43 # semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features.
  44 #
  45 # Limitation: deprecated-output policy @hide is not implemented for
  46 # enumeration values.  They behave the same as with policy @accept.
