I asked because with what Greg already suggested, it starts to become a long
runtime message, like:
"'-fsdev proxy' and '-virtfs proxy' are deprecated, use 'local' instead of
'proxy' or virtiofs"
And that's probably still ambiguous, becauses that might suggest people that
they could simply s/-virtfs proxy/-virtfs virtiofs/.
Low care rate on my end though.
