Well, not really. I cannot see it as a moderate impact. One can still
use the virtual kernel, and the impact on resources is minimal.

I, nevertheless, agree that it does not seem to make sense to have
wireless-crda on a virtual machine.

I have asked for a review of it; I do not feel comfortable setting the
importance (I do not deal with the kernel anymore).

Oh, I was able to understand you fine :-). And I agree with you on the
bug.
