I'm not so familiar with how all this error infrastructure is plugged
together...

In a different thread that I mentioned recently (and still haven't found
in my inbox), we were talking about changing the JSON encoding of errors
where unused by libvirt. Specifically we were talking about having a
field for the canonical QOM path of the affected object in place of the
often-empty device ID.

Are you now discussing to drop any such elaborated QMP schemes in place
of just one non-parsable human error message string?
