Clear. Checking the history, this looks to be qemu deciding they did not want= to have to maintain their own bundled version of libslirp when more and more= OS's have a system version of libslirp available. Apparently all OS's have i= t now and hence qemu removed their own bundled version with qemu-7.2 Looking at libslirp, there is no mention of deprecation. The last version was= released a year ago but it looks like a couple of commits are merged each mo= nth. The last commit was a month ago.
