Yes. Emulation is really a different task altogether than virtualization.
There are already emulators out there (bochs, for example), and while there
will be a certain amount of code sharing between the projects (for the virtual
devices), unifying them into a single program isn't really all that helpful to
either one. It might be nice to merge the codebases at some point, but that's
mainly a neatness thing, and since bochs and plex86 are under different
licenses, it would be up to Kevin.
