Hi all, While working on updating the version of QEMU [1] used on the project, for some occasions people outside asked me why the project builds QEMU from source instead of relying on distro's provided. When I started contributing to this project I asked it myself many times but I never looked for an answer. I can think on many reasons but I would be guessing. So If someone could share the rationale here, I would appreciate it. Perhaps more important, we could discuss if the scenario stands the same so that we should stick with that approach or if we could manage the QEMU build differently nowadays.
