We've argued from day 0 every step along the way. And here we are, one year later, still arguing about the very basics. There's a fundamental disagreement. I want to keep QMP the way it was designed: supporting compatible evolution. You want to remake it from the ground up as RPC to internal C interfaces. It seems exceedingly unlikely to me that we can agree on the wisdom of such a remake. We can repeat and elaborate on our arguments for a while, but let's face it: we want different things. I'm afraid I can't build you the thing you want. The best I can offer is to step out of the way and let you build it.
