Will vbados be in FDT2410? Or is there no decision till now?
Sorry for nerving you, but I think it will make work easier, especially as virtualbox is one of the simple to handle vms, so I assume that many newbies will use it for testing.

My vote:
While I do not use VM (I use dosemu2) I do think VBADOS is useful :-)
No opinion on row4 and fdtui, though.
