Should have done this a long time ago. I feel it is about time we change the default of nbdkit --run to imply -U -, rather than opening a public port.
Patch series turned out to be a little bit more complicated than I anticipated, but it contains some nice clean ups.
Indeed, just from the summary it sounds like a good idea. nbdkit can take advantage of it immediately, but libnbd will need to continue to explicitly use -U - for a while longer (as long as older nbdkit tends to be the version still installed on various CI platforms).
Last patch updating the documentation wouldn't be applied any time soon, so that the old docs stay around on the website.
Also a good idea. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. Virtualization: qemu.org | libguestfs.org
