Yep, that's the idea. We tend to leave the conditionals in a bit beyond
literally just last two releases, so there's a period of "not supported but
it probably still works" for a release that's fallen off the end of our
support list. But in this case since we already have code in QEMU that
requires 13 to even compile, there's no need to add new 13-or-better ifdefs
in this new code.
