If it could be done, a note in release notes would be required to warn
users that when it has been opened in a newer version using ioemu it
wouldn't be possible to be used again by tap driver anymore.

But yes, this would be an easy to use option if it's not too messy and
takes too long to convert the image (otherwise user can think that the
system has freeze).
