I think that's not 2 major releases just 2 releases so in your example 
could be removed in 9.0. qemu/docs/about/deprecated.rst says:

"The feature will remain functional for the release in which it was 
deprecated and one further release. After these two releases, the feature 
is liable to be removed."
