Spicec gone?

I was fiddling with Qemu a month ago and had it basically figured out.  I had a nice shell startup script that called all the options including one for spice, pointed to the disk, then called spicec.  I had a working VM with arch base.

Looking back at it again, ready for a new attempt at tweaking it, I see that sometime in the last month, the spicec command has completely disappeared from my system.  I have -Syu'd a few times since then, but I didn't do anything like remove the Qemu related packages.  I have tried reinstalling spice, but still don't get spicec.

Where did it go?  I cannot find explicit statements that it has been deprecated.  I see that there is a gtk spice client, spicy, but it isn't a direct substitute for spicec, as it doesn't recognize the same options (presumably has equivalent options, I just haven't looked yet).

Is there advantage in using spicy or any other method over spicec?

Not familiar with any of this, but googling for this:
