Control: retitle -1 virtualbox: might not be suitable for stable releases due to lack of cooperation from upstream on security support for older releases Control: severity -1 important
Hi, After a private discussion with Gianfranco, I'm retitling this bug and downgrading its severity. (Gianfranco agrees, at least on the general lines of argumentation). The reasoning is as follows. Virtualbox did not make it into stretch due to this bug, for good reasons. We are at the start of the buster release cycle, and we don't know what will be the status at the time of the freeze. The situation around security support should be re-evaluated at the beginning of the buster freeze, but until then, it sounds like a better plan to maximize user testing and allow virtualbox to migrate to testing. Security support for unstable/testing is not a problem because we are tracking new upstream releases anyway, where issues are being addressed by upstream. Also, there's a public svn repository to get fixes from if necessary. Cheers, Lucas
