Great - is there a *technical* (meaning non-policy) reason why Fedora's
version of open-vm-tools doesn't support mounting host files in the guest?
VMware does such a terrible job at tracking changes in the kernel source
that I've given up on using it. And why is open-vm-tools installed by
default on Fedora Workstation on bare metal or VirtualBox or qemu-kvm
guests?

Sorry if I'm "shooting the messenger" here but I've just wasted a couple of
days trying to make VMware Workstation work on a Fedora 21 host and Fedora
21 guests work with VMware hosts. There are two open source alternatives,
one of which is just a "yum install" away on a Fedora 21 host and which
works flawlessly with all modern kernels.
