It works fine for me, and it means we have coverage of a host
OS we otherwise would not. To me that is definitely more important
than being able to drop Python 2 support. Also, AIUI the problem
that's blocking updating the NetBSD image isn't related to
NetBSD at all but is a bug in some combination of QEMU itself
and our test framework -- both of those are things we need to
fix anyway.
