Stefan Hajnoczi has a nice summary:

If you go here: https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.1/cs01/ you will find a version with changes from v1.0 cs04 highlighted. In case you participated in a public review, changes since the public review draft are also listed in the specification itself.

I wonder what has happened with the VirtFS filesystem over virtio device. This presented a 9p interface directly in virtio to share filesystems between machines. The only reference I see in the spec is the 0x1009 device id being allocated to the 9P transport.

I believe some of the thinking has shifted toward virtio-fs[1] instead of the 9p/network oriented models. Though this requires hypervisor locality for sharing among VMs.

At some level yes. But virtio 9pfs is still widely used. It's just that no one yet bothered writing up the spec.

A doc laying out the rationale for the choice of primitives in virtio-crypto [1] would be very nice. The choice is weird. Also, I couldn't find links to actual specs of the named supported primitives, seems we should understand what they mean by name alone.

I see pretty high overlap with dpdk cryptodev primitives[1]. If I had to guess, they are related and probably based on what actual hardware provides and that is known to be used in some key applications (e.g. 4G/LTE infrastructure).
