Old version support. Was: Re: [Qemu-devel] FreeOSZoo will stop March 1, 2005

[Gregory Alexander]

I worry about the availability of patches for the old version, since the 
new one is so much faster.  (See bochs->Qemu mass move, when system 
emulation became available.)

Will Fabrice continue to support the userspace version of QEMU?

KQEMU would be an EXCELLENT way to test the CPU emulation of userspace 
QEMU.  Is anyone considering doing this?  Is it an option with the new 
license?

These are the kinds of problems that I foresee.

Anyways, I understand the rationale, just have a few fears.

Thanks,

GREG
