Well, not really. There is no "qemu" any more, and there are other
defaults like default memory size which need tweaks, so the minimum
command line isn't that short any more and looks more like this:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1G disk.img
If the command line is the main concern, I don't think is
enough to be the reason not to switch the default.
We can work on achieving the same/close with Q35.
Thanks,
