Developer develops patch, while testing qemu crashes on unrelated assert(size == 0).
1) Developer develops a patch against 0.12, it works, and they submit it to upstream.
2) Upstream crashes because of assert(size==0).3) Developer is publicly shamed for developing against a release instead of a git tree.
The problem is (1), not (2). Not to mention that we won't allow qemu_malloc() uses in upstream anymore which should make (2) impossible.
