The latter, definitely. And of those two, with priority to VirtualBox
because it's a) open source (extensions notwithstanding) and b) heavily used
on Mac laptops where Fedora is a common guest. (The cloud images isn't
intended to be a generic guest image, but it's handy if it happens to work.)

No, no particular reason; I just left it out of the list. I can't really
test it myself, and the same lower-priority-since-it's-not-open applies. And
in all cases we're certainly (and obviosuly I hope) not packaging up guest
driver / toolkit software that isn't free software.
