We also have to take into account that making a release is likely to increase
the quality of qemu code base as a whole. Just because any user getting into
qemu site today, or getting code from a distro, is likely to be using
something very
old. Old enough that any bug reports will be probably useless to us.

Bug reports against 0.9.1 has happened many times already in the list.
