Let's declare that "qemu-kvm 1.3+" will switch from rtl8139 to e1000 by default as a more suitable in modern world, -- the same way as qemu did the switch earlier, and be done with that. I think. Note that this is JUST for "-net nic" users, which should be the minority (proper usage is -device rtl8139 or -device e1000, with explicit model).
