If they're just syntactic sugar, what is the new-style command
line mechanism for configuring boards with embedded network
controller devices? Last time I looked at this that was just
impossible...and as long as it is, you can't get rid of any
of the backend -net config either, because it has to be either
all -net or all new-style and not a mix (I think).
