+ (title

+ (body
+ (en "The service now makes use of the statically built QEMU binaries
+along with the fix binary (F) @code{binfmt_misc} flag, which allows the kernel
+to fully pre-load it in memory. QEMU can thus now be used with any container
+without extra configuration. The @code{guix-support?} field of the
+@code{qemu-binfmt-configuration} record is removed, as it is no longer
+necessary.")))
