Since vbox-host-AllOpenGL-beta1-v5.0.0-BETA2.patch.txt is all about
OpenGL and Mesa3d drive .
And 3D guest drive for Linux, needs and is compile with mesa-7.2 sources
( src/VBox/Additions/x11/x11include/mesa-7.2/) , btw is (almost) the
only source code that I can't unbundle in Fedora RPMFusion packages,
isn't time to update to Mesa 10.5.5 ?  

http://www.mesa3d.org/relnotes/7.2.html is from 20 September 2008 , now
that Fedora and others distributions are moving to wayland
( wayland.freedesktop.org ),  is a thing that I'm curious how VirtualBox
will support that ?

Thank you , IMHO you should try reach agreement with upstream, they are
working on that and have their organization , if is just a patches
series to 3D drives , could be an add-on unofficial , that can be
applied on official version, not a fork please :) !
