I agree. We already made sure that job-cancel really means cancel on the
QAPI level, so we're free to do that. We just need to keep supporting
block-job-cancel with the old semantics, so what I have is the easy
conversion. We can change the internal implementation when we actually
implement the selection of a completion mode.
