You get "Warning: The nics option is deprecated.  Please remove it." and then
domain creation proceeds as you would expect.

If you have a nics=1 entry, then you get

Warning: The nics option is deprecated.  Please use an empty vif entry instead:

  vif = [ '' ]

and then the domain creation continues with 1 vif, just as it would have done
last week.

The only incompatibility is if you have specified neither a nics option nor a
vif line.  In this case, last week you would have got 1 random vif -- now you
get no vifs.

Ewan.
