The current rpmfusion maintainer for VirtualBox is Lubomir Rintel.

I've tried to contact him about few problem including VirtualBox not
been updated to lastest despite very annoying problem concerning usage
of 64bit guest : https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336.
Now VirtualBox-OSE cannot even be installed in F-14 and there is also
the path problem for internal libraries on 64bit Fedora Host.

Despite I (or another) can probably kick a package that fix theses
issues, I don't think I can handle a long term maintance of
VirtualBOX-OSE
Given the severity of the problem, I proprose that VirtualBOX-OSE to
be removed right now from the F14/Rawhide repositories.

If someone else want to take over maintainance of VirtualBOX-OSE,
please speak right now.
