[CentOS-devel] Feedback on C7 Vagrant Box

Hello, in addition to the other comments, I just wanted to say that it
would be great to have an 'official' vmware_desktop Vagrant box available
on Atlas as well.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help enable that. I found this
bugzilla issue which could maybe be used for tracking the various
requirements?

Thanks,

Michael
