Uh, this got a bit messed up :)
Your original patch only dropped test cases that will become invalid.
In my review, I elaborated a bit on "invalid", and mentioned that I had
considered outlawing such alternates independently of this series, but
refrained. I appended a patch for reference, and in the hope that it
helps you rebasing your patch.
It looks like you replaced your patch by mine, and the commit message by
my review. The resulting patch does more than just "tests: remove alt
num-int cases". It also lacks your S-o-b.
I recommend to drop the change to qapi.py, and restore your original
commit message. Should effectively be a rebase of your v1.
I further suggest a bit more detail in the commit message, perhaps like
this:
tests: Remove test cases for alternates of 'number' and 'int'
Alternates with both a 'number' and an 'int' branch will become
invalid when the next patch merges of QFloat and QInt into QNum.
More sophisticated alternate code could keep them valid, but since
we have no users outside tests, simply drop the tests.
