Yeah, I have no in principle objection to using a VM here. It's
just that the last couple of times I've tried it I've messed
around for an hour or so and failed to get a VM setup that
Just Works (ie serial console without graphics window, network
setup that doesn't expose the VM to the external network but still
lets me ssh into it, etc). If we don't have an externally
maintained machine we can use then I think good wiki documentation
on how to set up the VM locally is a minimum.
