Actually this section is about hosts not guests but sorry, we will rather not 
do that until macOS 10.13 is released and we tested VirtualBox on the new OS 
release...

Not necessary. This statement will be added once there are special cases for 
Sierra / High Sierra. For now these OS versions are covered by 
MacOSXRelease_New.

Probably true but I would change the comment not before 10.13 is released.

You might just want to test want the changelog entry suggests: "... this [the 
zoom] button should work accordingly to the Apple HIG: Full-screen by default, 
maximize if the user holds the Option key."
