Well, there are not that many forces from the QEMU side :) Personally, I'm fine with seeing slirp move to a separate playground that qemu would depend on and others could contribute to. It just needs to be integrated to distros so that qemu can get it. That being said, the integration of slirp and qemu is not so loose, notably on the top of my head: - we are using timers for icmp announcements - qemu needs to be able to save/restore state, with compatibility with previous versions We'd need to see how that can be expressed as a library.
