Ottavio,
User questions on this mailing list are not uncommon.  I think your
questions and discussions are welcome.

However, I understand that following a mailing list that has high
traffic and mostly contains patches is not ideal.  It does make sense
to bring the qemu users list back to life.  Anthony may have mailing
list admin access, he is CCed.
