New deployments should use the Rust version, and existing systems
should consider moving to it. The command line and feature set
is very close and moving should be simple.

+QEMU guest agent
+----------------
+
+``--blacklist`` command line option (since 7.2)
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+``--blacklist`` has been replaced by ``--block-rpcs`` (which is a better
+wording for what this option does). The short form ``-b`` still stays
+the same and thus is the preferred way for scripts that should run with
+both, older and future versions of QEMU.
+
+``blacklist`` config file option (since 7.2)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+The ``blacklist`` config file option has been renamed to ``block-rpcs``
+(to be in sync with the renaming of the corresponding command line
+option).
