They also do much less.

It's true that a combination of qemu-test + qtests could do 99% of the
job more simply than autotest.  But the last 1% (including migration)
would require a large effort, while it would be just there in autotest.

> Making autotest an unconditional dependency of qemu.git is a non-starter for me.

If it were as simple as "yum install py-autotest" it would not be a
problem, would it?
