FreeBSD never used these for our CI testing, and we're not going to even think about it, even if it wasn't in the deprecation path. This hardware is too old and too niche for us to care about (I think we even lack the proper drivers for that platform anyway). We do use QEMU for a number of other things, we just don't use this model, nor do we document it in any of the docs that talk about FreeBSD running under qemu. Warner
