It appears to be a pylint issue.

Hmm. I don't think, that something should be changed in code. splitting out 
part of this json object to a function? That's a test for QMP command, and it's 
good that we see the command as is in one place. I can swap some lines or 
rename variables to hack the linter, but I'd prefer not doing so:)


For me that looks like a false-positive: yes it's a duplication, but it should 
better be duplication, than complicating raw json objects by reusing common 
parts.


What to do? As described in 22305c2a081b8b6 "python: Reduce strictness of pylint's 
duplicate-code check", this check could be either be disabled completely, or we can 
increase min-similarity-lines config value.

I'd just disable it completely. Any thoughts?
