It was never clear to me and I doubt it was clear to anyone.
You literally reviewed a patch who's subject was "block: allow migration to work with image files"[1] that explained in gory detail what the problem was.

Given that, I don't think this is a candidate for 1.0.Let's just skip 1.0 and do 1.1 instead.
Let's stop being overly dramatic. You know as well as anyone that image format support up until the coroutine conversion has had enough problems that no one could practically be using them in a production environment.
Live migration is an availability feature. Up until the 1.0 release, if you cared about availability and correctness, you would not be using an image format.
