We will, and the solution will be the same: options to create devices
as they were in older versions of QEMU. It only needs to cover device
features which matter to guests, not every bug fix.
However with a machine configuration which is generated by QEMU,
there's less worry about proliferation of obscure options, compared
with the command line. You don't necessarily have to document every
backward-compatibility option in any detail, you just have to make
sure it's written and read properly, which is much the same thing as
the snapshot code does.
