 ;; QEMU is a complex, surprisingly flexible, and at times difficult piece of
 ;; software which is often used via proxy with VirtualBox or Proxmox - as in
 ;; via another application calling QEMU internally.
 
 ;; My problem with this is that too many of the implementation details are
 ;; hidden from the user, or covered up with additional abstractions. As the
 ;; developers maintain these abstractions they struggle to keep up with the
 ;; new low-level features implemented in their core systems.
 
 ;; To avoid the trickle-down economics of external application development, we
 ;; will develop a library which supports as much of the QMP and QAPI
 ;; surface-area that we deem suitable to support our applications.
