After doing some thinking, I think I found some sort of solution:

A configure switch - just like ffmpeg has these days...

If a company or a person wants not to take a risk - then just leave the 
current VGA implementation there and let the developer use a switch to 
use it. Else - use the newer implementations...

And in case no one has looked - QEMU is all about plugins - whether it's 
processor, IDE, floppy, VGA, etc - you can just write another plugin 
just like we have ARM, PPC, SPARC ...
