They've been deprecated for two releases and nobody complained that they are still required anymore, so it's time to remove these now. And while we're at it, mark the other remaining old 0.x machine types as deprecated (since they can not properly be used for live-migration anyway).
Do you know why exactly they can't be used for live-migration?
I don't remember the gory details, but IIRC Paolo once said that when you live-migrate from a QEMU version < 1.3 and then reboot the guest, it crashes, ... or something similar. Maybe Paolo can give some details again?
Maybe we should split the removal of pc <= 0.10 and deprecation of pc <= 0.15 into separate patches?
In that case I'd need to remove the text from qemu-deprecated.texi first, just to immediately add it afterwards again ... so I'd prefer to keep this in one patch.

Michael, should I queue this, or should it go through your tree?
I'll queue it.
Thanks to both of you! Thomas
