I still have to have an OS to run in the VM, and I then I'd need more
hardware resources to handle the VM.  If I run something like Fedora in
the VM, I still have to deal with major version upgrades at least once
per year, which is a PITA.

To me, it looks like RHEL is fine for running slow-to-update proprietary
apps (such as Oracle), but not so much for the faster-moving open source
software.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
