Is there a plan to expose at least the _DEPRECATED property to be
introspectable (e.g. via qom-list-properties or device-list-properties)
?
In libvirt we try to stay proactive about adapting to deprecations and
this would allow our test-suite to detect deprecations programmaticaly
similarly to how we detect deprecations via query-qmp-schema. Although
with the current patchset there doesn't seem to be anything that libvirt
would need to adapt to.
