why the old qemu version?

latest docker desktop (4.34.3) is packing qemu 8.1.5 which according to

is not the latest version. why not 'always' package the latest available release version of qemu? it's not like old version doesn't have bugs, but likelihood of someone reporting those bugs, getting them fixed upstream are high. so it's always a good idea to package the latest version and point people to report qemu bugs in their gitlab repo issue tracker. right now, we need to wait additional months for docker to package the latest version feels a bit off. :(

if it is intentional, please review your decision because people are anyway upgrading/downgrading docker desktop to find the qemu version which works for them due to various bugs so whatever reservations there are to delay the qemu upgrade needs to be reconsidered based on the past X releases and 'qemu' related issues reported in this repo alone..
