Eduardo Habkost April 23, 2019, 9:22 p.m. UTC
Use SupportStatusInfo to represent deprecation information of
machine types.

Instead of using a generic "use XXX instead" message for humans,
encode the suggested alternative in a machine-friendly way at the
'suggested_alternatives' field.

Maybe "Recommended alternative:"?
(Also consider renaming the SupportStatusInfo.suggested_alternative field).

I'm not sure.  Can we reword this, but in a way that it still
sounds like a suggestion, not as a definitive solution?

Sometimes the provided alternative won't work for everybody.
e.g. if one day we deprecate pc-i440fx, we can't be sure that
everybody will be able to use q35 instead.
