+qemu -readconfig/-writeconfig cannot handle quotes in values
+
+$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=/tmp/foo\" -writeconfig -
+# qemu config file
+
+[drive]
+  file = "/tmp/foo""
+
+For bonus points, try to construct a value qemu config file that contains a quoted value.  It's pretty clear (from looking at the code also) that this is not possible.
+
+Also:
+
+- maximum value length is hard-coded in the parser at 1023 characters (for no apparent reason)
+
+- the format is undocumented
+
+- don't use sscanf for parsing!
+
+
+This is an automated cleanup. This bug report has been moved to QEMU's
+new bug tracker on gitlab.com and thus gets marked as 'expired' now.
+Please continue with the discussion here:
