The direction of this statement is correct, but the magnitude is not. The kernel is still provided by the host. Getting a crash report can be frustrating when the guest's behavior hinges on /proc features that the host OS has configured appropriately for the host, not the guest. Configurable security restrictions can make the debugging experience different from one installation to another. Et cetera. — Dan
