The general policy is that HMP commands should only call QMP command implementations internally rather than doing things themselves, to make sure that a management tool can achieve everything the monitor provides with QMP and doesn't have to fall back to parsing HMP output. If we are certain that this feature is useless for automated use and nobody will ever want to use it in scripts (sounds like a bold claim to me), maybe an exception can be justified. I think this is up to the monitor maintainers. Kevin
