+block migration (since 8.2)
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Block migration is too inflexible.  It needs to migrate all block
+devices or none.
+
+Please see "QMP invocation for live storage migration with
+``blockdev-mirror`` + NBD" in docs/interop/live-block-operations.rst
+for a detailed explanation.
+
+old compression method (since 8.2)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Compression method fails too much.  Too many races.  We are going to
+remove it if nobody fixes it.  For starters, migration-test
+compression tests are disabled becase they fail randomly.  If you need
+compression, use multifd compression methods.
