Ok, I guess you think VDI-interfaces are doing much more than they do

It is just simple interface to Allow Spice / VNC / whatever not have to
de-duplicate code in order to get information from - lets say the
keyboard....
Is it really diffrence from any other function callbacks that used for
such purpuse?
Plugin interfaces have been discussed a few times in the past. The
concerns have been 1) they will be abused with the introduction of
proprietary plugins 2) we would have tremendous difficulty maintaining a
stable plugin abi 3) they would create stability issues in qemu because
the plugin quality cannot be controlled.
For 3, it's a matter of getting a bug report of a crash in qemu with a
random plugin module enabled. How do we know whether the crash is
really a qemu bug or whether it was an issue in the plugin? This isn't
so bad in dynamic languages like Python but it's a real pain in C.
