[libvirt] [RFC 7/7] tools: Force virsh to use deprecated features
Posted by Andrea Bolognani 4 years, 8 months ago
Instead of trying newer APIs first and only falling back to
deprecated ones if those are not available, go straight for
the older APIs.

Running 'virsh list' will now cause warnings to be displayed.

Obvious NACK since you did not make the patch look as a reproducer case
to prove the code changes work.

I suggest adding a all-caps warning to the subject and NOT adding a
Sign-off for reproducers not meant to be pushed.

Eh, nothing in this series is really meant to be pushed :)

But yours is indeed very good advice in general, so I'll keep it in
mind for future patches. Thanks!

Such approach without any obvious markers is only warranted on 1st of
April.

I figured the series being marked as RFC, along with the cover letter
containing a "Known issues" section mentioning how the implementation
completely fails to work in one out of two sample scenarios, would be
enough to tip readers off.

How do you recommend I make it more obvious next time?
