If that is ever going to happen, it needs people interested in it to
actually just make it happen. So if anyone would like to see it work
well in VirtualBox, then by all means go make it work well in
VirtualBox.
We need people to show up and do the work, not tell other people what
should be important. We have no lack of the latter.
Convincing people who tell others what is or should be important, are effective recruiters
and an incentive for other people to show up and do the necessary work. The inverse is not
true.
The free for all approach gets us exactly what we've got. We're open to everyone
and therefore in effect open to no one in particular.
Our recommended system requirements exactly describe Macs, and VirtualBox, and a metric
shitton of other possibilities. We are passively recommending things we know full well do
not produce a good experience and we should stop doing that, and be more specific.
