This does not sound very > appealing to me. FWIW, I have rebuilt the bios for the stable tree in the past, when a bios patch had been picked. In this case, however, I would need to rely on someone else to sanity-check the binary. How likely are folks to run -stable QEMU with a bootmap containing signatures? It would be one more QEMU version with toleration for this, but I expect distros to pick up this one anyway?
