Getting rid of a simple union is nice.  However,

Doing it in a manner that is NOT backwards-compatible (as evidenced by
your change to the output text) is NOT good.  It will break any existing
client that was expecting to parse information in the old layout.

I'm afraid you're going to have to fix this to not break QMP wire
compatibility.
