So far, it's not clear to me that anyone has demonstrated how this is
harmful for people that don't want pxe booting.  Assuming we fix the bug
about rom loading, then there's really no impact to users.


Fix (v2) is on the list already.


PXE booting might have security impact. You do not want to
do this if you are on a hostile network.
Option rom loaded doesn't imply pxe boot will be tried. It only means PXE boot can be selected, either via 

  -boot order=[something with 'n' here]

or via

  -boot menu=on + F12 + picking menu entry
By default qemu doesn't try to PXE-boot, even if no other bootable device is available. 

cheers,
