The first sentence isn't quite true wrt to KVM. Change slightly to:
Aside from not supporting KVM on 32-bit hosts, the qemu-system-x86_64
binary is a proper superset of the qemu-system-i386 binary. With the
32-bit host support being deprecated, it is now also possible to
deprecate the qemu-system-i386 binary.
