Add it in a prominent place: Right after figuring out what QEMU is,
users may wish to know how to use it more than they want to know how to
build their own version of it.

That URL is now redirecting to https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ... 
could you maybe update your patch and resend?

  Thanks,

does "v: latest" on readthedocs mean 5.2.0 or the current development 
head? Looks like the current development head.

https://www.qemu.org/documentation/ points to /docs/master, which is why 
I took that link. Is it worth updating that link, too? The website in 
particular should be rephrased to point to the latest stable release 
docs as a default, I suspect.

The README should probably keep pointing to the latest development docs.
