The issue is that virtualbox is crashing the host kernel, not the guest machines. And specifically that it's polluting Red Hat's automated bug reports from those crashes, and thus wasting QA effort. Being able to filter those out by the taint mechanism in the patch is important and useful information. Read the thread, it's a technical and process discussion, not a flame.
