<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The idea would be just build/distribute the version we pin in our versions.yaml. Even if we move to qemu-vanilla we will modify paths to not have path collisions (users can still use their host qemu but is something
we don’t test).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
