I think it's a bit odd to mark something as deprecated before it even
makes it to the first release. This is brand new functionality in OVS
and so I'm not sure why existing deployments would have much of an
impact. Based on the list of distributions that Kevin sent out, it
seems like the most recent version of each of them supports a
sufficiently new version of qemu. That seems reasonable enough to
support to me given that there's still quite a bit of active
development going on here.
