  I have another proposal:
If we fix CVEs on master, we'd better have a place (maybe www.qemu.org?)
to describe which stable releases are influenced. In this way, the user can fix these CVEs
easier according to the Qemu versions which they used. Meanwhile, it doesn't have
strong requires that release another stable version.
