I think the first reason why this dependency was brought up during last friday was the fact that when qemu gets upgraded to the binaries built against 4.11, but the 4.8 hypervisor is still running, it's no longer possible to start a new domU which uses qemu. Also note that this is not a new problem, it has always been like this. However, in the "upgrade notes" that we should have somewhere we must strongly recommend to not do anything else than shutting down or saving the running domUs and rebooting the host machine ASAP after upgrading the Xen packages.
