fair-enough, so lets just try to take ABI changes to minimum... > If a QP creation flag works for XRC then I would prefer not to add more > QP types I guess.

I can't take this, we think that creation flags can be a good way to go wrt minimizing ABI changes, I am not enough into the XRC impl to tell why creation flags are not used there. > I don't want to add both an XRC-specific mechanism and a more general > mechanism that XRC could have used but doesn't. So yes the "framework > Z" approach that works for both seems like the best way forward. OK, so do we agree that ABI wise one thing to handle is the new verb/s plus their associated data structures (in our case just create_flags field added to qp_init_attr) and second thing is placing the new verbs into the verbs context structure? Lets see what Jack says, we are fine with anything (yes) he would suggest.
