I know.

You'll not going to hide it that way. Libvirt will just 'qemu -M ?'
where q35 will show up even if you rename it to be postfixed -experimental.
But as long as 'pc' continues to be the default the causal user will
never ever notice q35 is there, at least not with virt-manager (dunno
about boxes) as there is simply no gui way to pick the machine type.
You'll have to explicitly "virsh edit $guest" to switch it to q35.
So I'm not sure what you are worryed about. But in any case this needs
discussion with the libvirt folks to make sure it will actually work as
intended. /me tends to think a experimental bit in machine_info (which
is then printed by 'qemu -M ?' and the QOM-version of that) is more
useful than playing tricks with the name.
cheers,
Gerd
