How is it that there are Certified virtual appliances built on non-supported GOSes?
See above. ISVs and developers selecting to use a non-supported Guest OS incur additional support overhead, typically based on their own in-house familiarity and support expertise with that particular Guest OS. In the past VMware enabled this to happen in an effort to build momentum for virtual appliances in the industry. With the proliferation of virtual appliances in the industry and various changes to the overall virtual appliance initiative at VMware we have decided to require a supported GOS to attain CVAP/VMware Ready status moving forward.
