I don't have any problem to drop the 7.4 machine type in 7.5, if virt-arm team doesn't have the obligation to support 7.4-backward-compatibility (both internally and externally) in newer releases. What was our past experience (x86 or ppc) with devel preview? Was it a rolling-based approach as well? -Wei FYI: both Karen and Hai agreed that we should drop 7.4 machine type in 7.5 release. I will bring this up in next virt-arm meeting and send in another patch after the team reaches the agreement. -Wei Fix included in qemu-kvm-ma-2.10.0-3.el7 Yes, it has been fixed. In my aarch64 box, here is the output: # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M ? Supported machines are: virt RHEL 7.5.0 ARM Virtual Machine (alias of virt-rhel7.5.0) virt-rhel7.5.0 RHEL 7.5.0 ARM Virtual Machine (default) none empty machine (In reply to Wei Huang from comment #8) > Yes, it has been fixed.
