I can't comment on what Ben meant, but from my perspective the really awful thing about SPICE was its huge tree of dependencies, including a very specific version of celt that we now need to package and maintain specifically for SPICE. At least during the big QOM refactorings. Elsewhere QEMU is built around the principle of opting individual features in rather than requiring a whole bunch of stuff just to do a basic qxl compile test for patches.
