Moving the CPU models inside the code is a step backwards, IMO. I don't think loading some kind of data from an external file (provided and maintained by QEMU itself) should be considered something special and magic, and make the data there a second-class citizen (that QEMU refuses to give proper support and keep compatibility). But if it will make us stop running in circles every time something related to those files needs to be changed (remember the -no-user-config discussion?), I think I will accept that. -- Eduardo -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
