I can argue both ways, so I'm just putting it out there. Yeah. I thought about that too. Specifically one thing I'd like to avoid is carelessness in case of the update. Specifically if there is some form of removal (flag being removed and such) we need to be careful and consider the implications.

In this very specific case there's nothing of note and I'd be okay with just pushing it, but the rules if we wanted to codify it somehow would require to be more nuanced and I don't think I can express all the caveats. That's why I didn't really argue for adding a special rule for this. Also one reason I'm doing periodic upgrades of this is so that others don't have to do it. The problem here is that the output is very much dependent on the machine where you run it and I don't want others to have to update the files when adding a new capability as the difference becomes unreviewable and may even regress depending on how qemu is built.
