Sorry, my mistake. I thought oldstyle was dropped for 3.12, but checking
it now I notice it was dropped for 3.10 (it's been a while).

In 3.11, there were a few dead code paths that still tried to access
oldstyle negotiation, but they didn't work. So for 3.11, you can't start
nbd-server from the command line; you have to start it with a
configuration file.

Starting it from the command line (with a default export name) is
supported again in later versions, so if you want that, you can always
upgrade to a later version of NBD.

Regards,
