Which bz is that?

Hi David,
I am guessing at what you mean by "bz", so here is an
example of the double edged sword. This is a USB problem
that reported to QEMU.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1458121
Their answer was:
That version was a pre-alfa version of kvm support in
qemu, is insanely outdated, is heavily patched by redhat.
I don't even think USB2 was supported by that version.
Please try on a current version of qemu and kernel and
reopen if the problem persist there.
status: New → Invalid
"pre-alpha", "insanely outdated". No wonder qemm-kvm has
problems.
They just lock in all the crap they don't want to fix or
that doesn't embarrass them too badly. Red Hat says they
support EL6 till 2020, but they really don't. They just stop
working on it after a while. "Semi-maintained" would have
to apply.
