When I ask the developers, they don't know if qemu will include the

OK. So if gns3 can't be fixed for the stable - than should be removed
from the repos (for ISOs is to late).
If we don't provide qemu patch, then gns3 should be removed from
Cauldron as well.
I believe removing GNS3 is better than keeping it broken and..

people (I don't count the opinion of our quality). Later some 3rd

repos can provide GNS3 and its dependencies.
You seem to imply that the only use of GNS3 is with this qemu patch.
It's possible to simulate and play without qemu.
It should be "Suggested" by GNS3, but then what is the idea of
suggesting qemu that isn't working at all? I simply don't know why to
distribute a program that provides support in GUI for something that's
not working.
Uh, because you can use GNS3 for a lot of things without qemu.
I used it for simulating a 4-router network with just dynamips.
So, either I don't understand what you are trying to achieve, or why
you want
to *prevent* people from emulating routers with GNS3.
If I do *import* dynamips into Mageia then I want to *prevent* people
from emulating? No, I want to distribute fullfeatured software, where
everything is *well-rounded* - and not *missing*/*broken*.
And providing it via 3rd party repo as fullfeatured is much better than
via official resources but limited. Is this also preventing? If someone
will need it, then will find information how to use GNS3 with Mageia.
