We've got a generic paragraph about machine removal now:

 https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/ce80c4fa6ff

So I think we don't should manually mention each and every removed versioned 
machine type in removed-features.rst anymore. But some generic sentence in 
removed-features.rst about this would be good, too. I'll prepare a patch for it.
