That's a first step to move on newer job-* APIs.

The difference between block-job-change and job-change is in
find_block_job_locked() vs find_job_locked() functions. What's
different?

1. find_block_job_locked() do check, is found job a block-job. This OK
   when moving to more generic API, no needs to document this change.

2. find_block_job_locked() reports DeviceNotActive on failure, when
   find_job_locked() reports GenericError. Still, for block-job-change
   errors are not documented at all, so be silent in deprecated.txt as
   well.

Do you mean something like find_block_job_locked() finds only block
jobs, whereas find_job_locked() finds any kind of job?

Suggest:

    1. find_block_job_locked() finds only block jobs, whereas
       find_job_locked() finds any kind of job.  job-change is a
       compatible extension of block-job-change.

    2. find_block_job_locked() reports DeviceNotActive on failure, when
       find_job_locked() reports GenericError.  Since the kind of error
       reported isn't documented for either command, and clients
       shouldn't rely on undocumented error details, job-change is a
       compatible replacement for block-job-change.

Typo in subject: it's "deprecate".
