+QEMU includes models of some machine types where the QEMU code that
+emulates their SoCs is very old and unmaintained. This code is now
+blocking our ability to move forward with various changes across
+the codebase, and over many years nobody has been interested in
+trying to modernise it. We don't expect any of these machines to have
+a large number of users, because they're all modelling hardware that
+has now passed away into history. We are therefore dropping support
+for all machine types using the PXA2xx and OMAP2 SoCs. We are also
+dropping the ``cheetah`` OMAP1 board, because we don't have any
+test images for it and don't know of anybody who does; the ``sx1``
+and ``sx1-v1`` OMAP1 machines remain supported for now.
