I'm not convinced we should be removing documentation for options that currently exist and remain supported. The documentation should be updated to say that we prefer use of '-accel' instead at least. Beyond that, what is our long term intention with '-machine accel=xxx' ? Is this a case where we are happy to leave '-machine accel=' as syntax sugar forever ? Or is this a case where we want to deprecate it and eventually remove its impl (and thus the documention here)
Right, we should deprecate and then remove.
