Carving out a test criteria that permits certain bugs to be blocking, hence some level of
VirtualBox support.
The whole thread is much longer but this is a decent one-shot is this:

Nothing has really changed in 21 months policy wise.
For example if it turns out this bug is in fact VirtualBox specific, what happens?
Historically, it's not a blocker expressly because it's happening in vbox. And
that would mean F21 would be allowed to ship, despite failing to install as a virtualbox
guest. If it's only fixable by virtualbox upstream, it's reasonable to not block
because we can't control any of that. If it can be fixed in Fedora, but we need more
time or whatever to get it fixed, then I think we should block. But we're not allowed
to block on anything vbox specific no matter what the problem or solution is.
