Hello, 

sorry I'm late to the party, I've heard of your Vagrant issues- 

I'm a Vagrant maintainer, and I'll gladly help if you encounter any Vagrant
issues, feel free to ping me on IRC (`pvalena`). 
I can also do some review of your Vagrantfiles, and run some tests, if you like (to
prevent instabilities etc.). 

One good thing I always advise to try are the latest stable (=rawhide) Vagrant builds from
my COPR: 
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/pvalena/vagrant/ 

(Built for all Fedoras and CentOS 7+8, although CentOS 7 currently needs manual
workarounds.)
