There are two issues with the documentation of the --balloon parameter:
First, "--balloon none" is simply doing nothing. Even if a machine had a
balloon device by default, this option is not disabling anything, it is
simply ignored. Thus let's simply drop this option from the documentation
to avoid to confuse the users (but keep the code in vl.c for backward
compatibility).
Second, the documentation claims that "--balloon virtio" is the default
mode, but this is not true anymore since commit 382f074371.
Since that commit, the option also has no real use case anymore, since
you can simply use "--device virtio-balloon" nowadays instead. Thus to
simplify our complex parameter zoo a little bit, let's deprecate the
the parameter now and tell the user to use "--device virtio-balloon"
instead.

qemu-system-ppcemb has been once split of qemu-system-ppc to support
CPU page sizes < 4096 for some of the embedded 4xx PowerPC CPUs.
However, there was hardly any OS available in the wild that really
used such small page sizes (Linux uses 4096 on PPC), so there is
no known recent use case for this separate build anymore. It's
rather cumbersome to maintain a separate set of config switches for
this, and it's wasting compile and test time of all the developers
who have to build all QEMU targets to verify that their changes did
not break anything.
Except for the small CPU page sizes, qemu-system-ppc can be used as
a full replacement for qemu-system-ppcemb since it contains all the
embedded 4xx PPC boards and CPUs, too. Thus let's start the deprecation
process for qemu-system-ppcemb to see whether somebody still needs
the small page sizes or whether we could finally remove this unloved
separate build.

Commit 0f5314a (v1.0) added section "Device URL Syntax" to

qemu-options.texi, not --help. It appears as a subsection under
section "Invocation". Similarly, qemu.1 has it as a subsection under
"OPTIONS".
Commit f9dadc9 (v1.1.0) dropped new option -iscsi into the middle of
this section. No effect on qemu-options.texi. It appears in --help
run together with the "Bluetooth(R) options:" header.
Commit c70a01e (v1.5.0) gives it is own heading in --help by moving
commit 0f5314a's DEFHEADING(Device URL Syntax:) outside STEXI..ETEXI.
Trouble is the heading makes no sense for -iscsi.
Move all of the "Device URL Syntax" Texinfo to qemu-doc.texi. Mark it
for inclusion in qemu.1 with '@c man begin NOTES'. This turns it into
a separate section outside the list of options both in qemu-doc and in
qemu.1.
There's substantial overlap with the existing qemu-doc section "Disk
Images". Mark with a TODO comment.

The deprecation of features in QEMU is totally adhoc currently,
with no way for the user to get a list of what is deprecated
in each release. This adds an appendix to the doc that records
when each deprecation was made and provides text explaining
what to use instead, if anything.
Since there has been no formal policy around removal of deprecated
features in the past, any deprecations prior to 2.10.0 are to be
treated as if they had been made at the 2.10.0 release. Thus the
earliest that existing deprecations will be deleted is the start
of the 2.12.0 cycle.

"qemu-doc - QEMU Emulator User Documentation". However, that movement
of the gemu-ga chapter is not the real problem, it just triggered
another bug in the qemu-doc.texi: There are some parts in the file
which introduce a "@c man begin OPTIONS" section, but never close
it again with "@c man end". After adding the proper end tags here,

RFC 6331 documents a number of serious security weaknesses in

using or recommending it as a default mechanism for VNC auth
with SASL.
GSSAPI (Kerberos) is the only other viable SASL mechanism that
can provide secure session encryption so enable that by defalt
as the replacement. If users have TLS enabled for VNC, they can
optionally decide to use SCRAM-SHA-1 instead of GSSAPI, allowing
plain username and password auth.
