[ARMedslack] QEMU support - does anybody care about it?

Hi

I am thinking about removing the QEMU packages from -current.
I only added these years ago because my real ARM hardware died and I
needed a stop gap.

The thing is that QEMU is *so slow* that I cannot imagine it being useful
at all, apart from a 10 minute novelty for x86 users.
It takes time to test whether the installation works, and takes time to
build the Versatile kernel.

Is anybody going to miss it if I drop the packages and install docs?
