Do you have that backwards by any chance? IMO the presence of assert()
contributes to bad code quality, not the drivers that trigger those
asserts. It is bad enough that two QEMU releases went out while being in
bad shape.

Anyway, hopefully Paul or whoever will find the time and energy to
convert the code at some point.
