I do not understand. What we're doing is free-beer. We can always say
no. What's your worry?
One usecase of this feature is to avoid recompiling QEMU while playing
with firmware. If you cannot mimic QEMU's behavior (which is to add
"etc/" files), the feature is pointless, or at least I totally cannot
understand its purpose and I'm against merging it.
