387 We recommend that downstream consumers of QEMU do *not* modify QMP.
388 Management tools should be able to support both upstream and downstream
389 versions of QMP without special logic, and downstream extensions are

421 Thus, a client should not be able to distinguish downstream from
422 upstream as long as it doesn't send input with downstream members, and
423 properly ignores any downstream members in the output it receives.
