Warnings tend to get ignored until things are actually break, so I
don't think this helps much. I think simply not having a default
machine type (as already suggested elsewhere in this thread) is the
best way to deal with this.
I would absolutely hate this. One of the nice things about qemu has
always been that 'qemu disk.img' is enough to start a simple VM. You
only need to touch any other options for things you care about. I
wouldn't want to give this up.
