Hi folks! We have a 'situation' for F27 Final that needs resolving. One blocker bug - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164492 - definitely requires a change to gnome-boxes. That change isn't under dispute, and is present in an update, gnome-boxes-3.26.1-4.fc27 . So what's the problem? The problem is that update also includes *another* change, and I'm not at all sure we actually still want that change. gnome-boxes-3.26.1-3.fc27 changed the default video adapter for new VMs to 'virtio', as an attempt to workaround https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1491320 . However, that bug now appears to be addressed on the kernel side. Changing the default video adapter for new VMs could only ever be an incomplete workaround (it wouldn't help VMs created on other OSes, or existing VMs, or various other situations), and I believe was a downstream-only change.
AFAIK virtio-vga definitely is the most future proof choice, it is what we want to switch to one of these days anyways. Since this will only impact new VMs and since once created VMs may stick around for quite a while I think that having virtio-vga as a default for the video adapter is a good idea. Anyways just my 2 cents.
