No matter how much I like QOM (I do), I would rather say that the all
QOM grand plan has been "inconclusive".  99% in-tree uses of QOM are
just a glorified qdev, buses and all.  You shouldn't be surprised if
people still care about the "legacy" qdev tree.

I am not offended about people caring about legacy devices. I am
offended that people are trying to revert good QOM changes so that they
match their expectations from legacy concepts.

I object to calling any change good if it causes a segfault anywhere else in the code, even if it may be good from a QOM-only point of view. After a month the change hasn't been reverted yet, so I don't think people are trying too hard. But reverting is always one of the possible solutions. Reapplying a reverted patch is easy.

I have stated at two KVM Forums already that qdev is dead.

Define "qdev", please.

qdev.c to device.c? That's pretty easy to do if it solves these qdev
discussions...

Let's stop talking about theory and let's look at the actual ccode, please.
