40#
41# Policy for handling deprecated management interfaces.
42#
43# This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces.
44#
45# Limitation: covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged
46# with feature 'deprecated'.  We may want to extend it to cover
47# semantic aspects and CLI.
48#
49# Limitation: deprecated-output policy @hide is not implemented for
50# enumeration values.  They behave the same as with policy @accept.
