I'm perfectly fine with dropping it. btw, there are other features in qemu that seem to be academic exercises - *-user for example. What is it useful for? Most open source stuff is multiplatform, and serious commercial work
needs something faster than tcg.
Riiight.. Here's a story, my work duties required me to fiddled with
More examples of industrial use are Nokia and Palm using OpenEmbedded
building firmware for their phones, which afaik I relies for some
parts on qemu (just some parts, so the tcg performance doesn't impact
overall performance that much).  There are many more users of OE, but
these two have products in shops near me.

Well, both these examples are very far from the typical end user or even typical developer.

No doubt anything is useful for someone, given the are 6.7Gp of us on this planet.

Are those examples worth the effort?  I don't know, but I'm sceptical.

-linux-user really doesn't impact much common code so the effort is pretty low.
