I wholeheartedly agree with that. It is a godsend to me that I can use
identical configs to build the kernels for QEMU and for a physical Malta.
Emulation is more convenient to me because QEMU boots and runs faster
than the board I'm working with. Many thanks for that to QEMU developers.

Off the topic, how about the plans to remove Atlas support?
