    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc-0.10
    qemu-system-x86_64: Machine type 'pc-0.10' is deprecated: Old and unsupported machine version, use a newer machine type instead.

Please drop the period.

"Old and unsupported" feels redundant after "is deprecated".  What about

    qemu-system-x86_64: Machine type 'pc-0.10' is deprecated, use a newer version of the machine type instead

or even

    qemu-system-x86_64: Machine type 'pc-0.10' is deprecated, use a newer machine type instead
