Yes, I'll move that up on my todo list.

When I originally did the work, we hesitated because we did not have a 
deprecation policy, and the QAPIfied version did not accept both string 
and int the way the old code did. I don't know if we want to do a hard 
break or start a deprecation clock now, but that can be decided as part 
of dusting off the series.
