I'm leaning toward deleting the message entirely. It was placed there 10+ years ago to alert users that they needed to upgrade QEMU. At this point, if someone files a bug report against a 10+ year old QEMU build, the very first question is going to be if the issue reproduces on a more recent build. The only possible benefit I can think of is for people writing new VMMs from scratch, but any benefit there is also dubious for a variety of reasons.
