kernel-devel, etc. are required for compiling the kernel modules. So,
yes, there's certainly scope there to make VBox installation far

openSUSE and Debian both have VirtualBox in their FLOSS repos (though it
looks like Debian has removed a few files). Is there a particular reason
Fedora does not, or is it just that it hasn't been packaged? I've
Googled this a few times but found no explanation.
Here is my openSUSE-Education 1.3.1 with VirtualBox:
Virtualbox 4.2.18_OSE r88780 with installed extensions (Oracle) 4.2.18-88780 in openSUSE 13.1
1024 / 2 CPU / bridged networking
works with f21(rawhide) boot.iso and workstation-live-x86_64
