35# @CompatPolicy:
36#
37# Policy for handling deprecated management interfaces.
38#
39# This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces.
40#
41# Limitation: covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged
42# with feature 'deprecated'.  We may want to extend it to cover
43# semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features.
44#
45# Limitation: deprecated-output policy @hide is not implemented for
46# enumeration values.  They behave the same as with policy @accept.
