+There is a new Rust implementation of ``virtiofs`` at
+``https://gitlab.com/virtio-fs/virtiofsd``;
+since this is now marked stable, new development should be done on that
+rather than the existing C version in the QEMU tree.
+The C version will still accept fixes and patches that
+are already in development for the moment.
