Agree strongly.

Why do you expect that?  Maybe you meant -M 1.0 at the end?

Ack.

RHEL has more stringent requirements (going back to its heavily patched
0.12).  I think we should have the infrastructure that allow one to add
the hacks to make this work, even if we don't actually do the compat
work for the release (I think it's fine for qemu to support just one
version going back; and unreasonable to require it to go as far back as
RHEL).
