I had never noticed that behaviour until now, but since you and Jonathon
say you were accustomed to it, it's likely more people are relying on
it. With that in mind, it's indeed better to keep the current behaviour
the default to avoid breaking things people are used to.

Rather than changing the code to match the documentation, we can go the
other way, and just deprecate --wait and document it does nothing (which
is mostly the case currently, --wait waits for the domain to be created
if it does not exist, or for the spice/vnc server to start in the
guest).
