At this point, no, we've missed -rc3, and it's not a big enough bug to warrant needing -rc4 on its own. And as Gerd said, we already parsed 'gl=on' in 2.11 (the QAPI representation is new to 2.12, but only to simplify how the existing command line parser was coded), so that's different than if 2.12 were introducing brand-new content in a form that should be fixed before it is baked into existing uses. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
