Well originally qemu tried to be friendly and to just create
a reasonable machine when given a disk, to the point where
it would even set up some networking by default.
And I think it's not a bad idea, forcing everyone to specify a bunch of
boilerplate does not really result in people researching which machine
type is good for them, people instead just copy paste from a random
website.
So maybe we can detect that basic usage somehow (I only have some
vague ideas) and then set a bunch of defaults that we consider
best?
