Currently if someone wants to add a new block format, they have to

So? Unless we want a stable driver ABI which I fundamentally oppose as
it would make block driver development hell
We'd only freeze it for a major release.
they'd have to wait for
a new release of the block layer. It's really just going to be a lot
of pain for no major gain. qemu releases are frequent enough, and if
users care enough they can also easily patch qemu.
May not be so easy for them, they lose binary updates from their distro
and have to keep repatching.
