We also included the static qemu binaries in our ARM images to make it easier to run them on our amd64 machines for testing. Is there any plan to also include qemu in the official images?

I would vote against this. Instruction translation is built in for Docker CE in (recent versions of) Linux, Mac, and Windows 10 Pro. Rather than include them by default, and push the additional bloat penalty onto users who might not need it, it'd be more important to me to keep the images small without me having to remember to remove these binaries before deployment.
