How is the proposal going to help distros though ? Even if QEMU stops
using the redundant ROMs from qemu-system-aarch64, they're still going
to be needed by qemu-system-x86_64, which will be shipped on all arch
hosts. So surely *all* non-x86 build targets still need to be able
to cross-compile the x86 ROMs.


With regards,
Daniel
