Deprecating sure. Actually dropping is not so easy I think. The switch is not transparent to the guest, which implies live migration compatibility isssues. So the only thing we can do is blocking it for new machine types (3.1+). Then, in a bunch of years when we deprecate 3.1 & older machine types, we can actually remove it. I remember we even discussed that a while back ... Oh yes: https://git.kraxel.org/cgit/qemu/commit/?h=work/no-sgabios&id=408690999429fdf44011c49b3af6efa50f369b1e Somehow never ended up being merged. cheers, Gerd
