Ah, but we want to be able to run virtualbox on the past releases
too.
Which releases are we talking about here? VirtualBox was always
deprecating
older FreeBSD releases much faster than our Security EOL so if we
focus on latest
8.x and >= 9.0 I think it should be okay.
We have already deprecated 7.x because of some other problems with
the userland
bits so we can forget about 7.x completely. What is left is 8.1 and
8.2 and both
are EOL until mid 2012. So if is possible to get it merged in time
for 8.3 and
9.1 (if needed) we should be fine.
So we would just say "screw you" to people who stick to e.g. 8.2 at
the moment? :)
No. We currently have the last 2 virtualbox major versions in the ports
tree so
if we decide to do such an incompatible change we always have the older
version
around for 8.2 users for about the next year.
