[vbox-dev] Announcement: VirtualBox 6.0 released

[Michael Thayer]

Hello Sedat,

They will be in future 5.2 releases.  Those Linux distribution
maintainers that I am aware of read this mailing list and keep in
contact with us on IRC, so if they need this sort of patch they will
know where to find it (or where to find us to ask).

Regards
Michael
