Actually my proposal was to have qemu-native and qemu-everything-else.
On the basis that either you just want a vm and the native arch is good
enough, or you want a particular arch and therefore clearly have disk to
burn.
Not always having disk to burn is the case.
You can easily fit an embedded system in a couple of mb, so the disk image
for an arm system, for instance, is likely to require this couple of mb too.
Going further, qemu-user-xxx (which is probably a qemu handler to watch porn)
needs no extra disk at all, since you'll be just running normal binaries
with an emulation layer.
But, I'm no domain expert here. If the typical qemu user is something
other than I've envisioned, then feel free to ignore me.
We feel totally free to ignore you, because the internet is a free country,
and we're free men ;-)
But your comments are always welcome.
