FWIW, this is the same policy the libvirt project follows, and we have formalized it at https://libvirt.org/platforms.html with Debian LTS being called out explicitly as not supported. It would be *fantastic* if we could keep the platform support policy used by QEMU and libvirt as aligned as reasonably possible. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
