The area that greensocs is working on is of direct interest to me as well:
I want 100% QEMU configuration via QMP.

(And then either I drop the command line, or re-architect the CLI such that
it is 100% a mapping onto equivalent QMP, or ... something. It's been a
somewhat hot topic at times, but 100% QMP configuration seems like where
the meat of the work is, anyway. Everything after that is kinda just
'details'.)
