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