  40 #
  41 # Policy for handling deprecated management interfaces.
  42 #
  43 # This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces.
  44 #
  45 # Limitation: covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged
  46 # with feature 'deprecated' or 'unstable'.  We may want to extend it
  47 # to cover semantic aspects and CLI.
  48 #
  49 # Limitation: deprecated-output policy @hide is not implemented for
  50 # enumeration values.  They behave the same as with policy @accept.
