Today you can clone upstream seabios, build it, and the resulting image will work on pretty much any qemu version since 0.12 or so. You don't have to pick the correct config switches for your particular qemu version, it just works. I think it should stay that way by default.
Having config options to turn off support for older qemu versions is fine, so we can strip the bios binaries bundled with qemu by leaving out code which would not be used anyway.
Yes. Exactly.
