My position is that we aren't any closer to having compatible APIs
then we were with the human monitor. I think we need to focus on
compatibility and that that has to be solved as the QEMU interface
level. I contend that it's not solvable at the QMP level.
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.
Yes, that's the fundamental problem here.
Okay, so what's the path forward?
I've proposed something that I think can get us out of the rut that
we're in. I've got code to support that.
Ignoring what I've proposed, what do we do differently?

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.
