[edk2-devel] [Patch v2][edk2-stable202011 3/4] OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/.azurepiplines: Use stable release of QEMU

[Michael D Kinney]

Hi Rebecca,

I think the general approach is to verify the latest version of everything
including the CI infrastructure components.

If a failure is detected due to a new component, then we can temporarily 
lock in a previous stable version until the issues with the new component
are resolved.

Mike
