We have not worked on it.

There are some wireless drivers for pcmcia cards (e.g. orinoco,
hermes). No raid support. No suspend/resume or power management.
I'm wondering: if I had spent time on these instead of working on
Wheezy, I guess people wouldn't have been happy either. I wonder what I
should have done at all.
And when these get implemented, I guess we'll be asked for 3D
acceleration, backlight tuning, memory hotplug, etc. etc.?

I don't have this issue at all, things just go fine here with both the
other/other template and the Linux/Linux template. This message comes
from vbox I guess (there is no such message in Mach or the Hurd), so I'd
tend to think virtualbox has some issues in your setup.

Which we haven't seen very precisely defined still. Or at least we have
this criterium:
“Are machines available to buy for the general public?”
Which I believe is fullfiled.
