Thanks, do you have a reference?  I would like to understand the reason 
for that (adding Werner too).

For RHEL8, considering that the switch would be several months away 
anyway, I don't think it would be an issue to require AppStream toolset 
packages.  It's unlikely that RHEL8 would rebase QEMU in 2023 and beyond.
