See comment 58.

4.16-rc1 will not contain a vboxsf, I hope to get another review to my upstream
submission of vboxsf soon and then hopefully get it into -next, after which I
can add it as a downstream patch to the Fedora kernels.

1) I cannot add a Requires to a Fedora package on something which is in
rpmfusion
2) The vbox guest-additions bundled version will not work with the mainline
vboxguest driver

I suggest we simply wait a bit to see how the upstreaming process of vboxsf
goes, I don't expect many users to be running rawhide inside vbox. Plan A. is
still for vboxsf.ko to be part of the Fedora kernels for rawhide/F28.

If that falls through the floor plan B is that I will do a standalone /
out-of-tree version of my version of vboxsf (which works with the mainline
vboxguest driver) and you can put that in the akmod for F28+ and users who want
the shared-folder functionality can install the akmod (you can even use
enhances to make this automatic).
