After doing some thinking, I think I found some sort of solution:
A configure switch - just like ffmpeg has these days...
If a company or a person wants not to take a risk - then just leave the
current VGA implementation there and let the developer use a switch to
use it. Else - use the newer implementations...
And in case no one has looked - QEMU is all about plugins - whether it's
processor, IDE, floppy, VGA, etc - you can just write another plugin
just like we have ARM, PPC, SPARC ...
Thanks,
Hetz
