This isn't a constructive way to have the conversation. As you pointed out in an earlier message, no one has this data, so all of us are left to take our best guess at it. Let's be respectful to each other about it. For myself, I think it's reasonable to conclude there's a non-trivial amount of people using QEMU on that hardware in some fashion. Much of that is probably from podman as opposed to running large virtualized environments at this point, but the podman use case is important for a lot of people. From the previous times the baseline conversation has happened, I suspect that I am more open to raising it than Kevin is, but I agree with his general direction here. Absent reliable data, I tend toward a conservative approach to dropping hardware support. But there's no easy answer here. -- Ben Cotton (he/him) TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bcotton -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
