However, this partial introspection feature is entirely a wart
I don't see it entirely like that. For example, whether paging is supported could also be part of the capabilities and not part of the regular QAPI introspection. Of course, quiaonuohan need not add anything like that.
whose existence is exclusively justified by non-technical reasons, such as deadlines, and not wanting to be blocked indefinitely by architecture astronautics around full introspection. I don't see the point of polishing it beyond bare usability, at least not after I've reviewed three versions of the patchset.
Luiz, can you apply patches 1-12 for now? I agree with Laszlo that, no matter how unfortunate this is, the "unused" warnings are a necessary evil and one that can be worked around easily when bisecting.
