While I don't have a serious issue with this patch which also conforms to our
platform policy I don't think we need to always be so keen on dropping
platforms ASAP manually. IOW I think all platform changes should be ideally be
performed with lcitool, which however, won't be able to drop Debian 10 so soon
sice QEMU will still likely rely on Debian 10 in their CI for a while unless
matters around platform support have changed in QEMU??.
QEMU has the same platform support policy as libvirt these days, but
their release schedule is different and that can result in keeping a
target platform around for a few additional months.
This influences how soon we can drop the platform in question from
lcitool, but shouldn't affect libvirt: from libvirt's point of view,
dropping a target platform is just a matter of updating the manifest,
and there is no compelling reason to wait until lcitool has dropped
support for it.
If anything, it's more convenient to do it *before* that has
happened, as in that case you can just run 'lcitool manifest' and
have the tool dutifully delete the now-unused files for you instead
of having to hunt them down manually :)
