Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-07-17 16:46:26 UTC 
FWICS, the default of USE=-slirp disables '-net user' and the error message is completely unhelpful:

  qemu-system-x86_64: Parameter 'type' expects a netdev backend type

I think it'd really be preferable to default to IUSE=+slirp, so that users suddenly don't lose networking by default.
