Hmm?  Any recent examples?  Since we switched over to have qemu generate
the acpi tables instead of expecting the firmware doing it (qemu 1.5 or
1.6 IIRC) there where no hard lockstep updates.  Only soft dependencies
a'la "if you want use the new qemu feature foo you also need a seabios
supporting the new feature foo".

We try to avoid it but sometimes it doesn't work out as we like.

cheers,
  Gerd
