Well, Ubuntu (Serge I think) said in the Ubuntu bug report he'd
be quite willing to break migration of pc-1.0 machine types
from 14.04 to 14.04 because that machine type isn't the default
anyway on 14.04.
But that isn't the point, as the patch (as a whole) doesn't
break anything - it merely gives the possibility to import
pc-1.0 machines from qemu-kvm. That's useful even if you
build qemu from source every time.
Or were you just arguing against the ./configure option?
I'm arguing against special-casing pc-1.0. Just apply the patch to
Ubuntu downstream and call it a day.
It's perfectly normal for machine types to be part of the downstream
(not so secret) sauce.
