Can you explain your qualms in a bit more detail? The thoughts that led to this patch: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-05/msg03164.html Consensus back then: 1. Add qemu-bridge-helper.c to Jason's "Network device backends" 2. Deprecate -netdev tap parameter "helper" 3. Improve documentation of -netdev bridge 4. Create a manual page for qemu-bridge-helper that also covers /etc/qemu/bridge.conf. 5. Fix the nutty error handling in parse_acl_file() This series covers the first two [PATCH 1+2], and records the remaining three more permanently [PATCH 3].
