Uhm, we definitely support people using qemu directly with no -M option
at all with installed VMs. That's the same as switching machine types
every time a new QEMU is released.
At least RHEV supports switching machine types, even RHEL6->RHEL7.
There are constraints on when to do that because it affects the whole
datacenter, but it is done routinely because each RHEV release only
supports two machine types IIRC.
