> If you are unsure of bhyve's abilities then why not test yourself?

It is not possible to come to a conclusion about everything in the world yourself "from scratch". No one has the time to try out everything themselves. Some filteration process needs to be applied to prevent wasting your finite time.

That is why you ask for recommendations of hotels, restaurants, travel destinations, good computer brands, software and so on from friends, relatives or other trusted parties/groups. This does not mean your don't form your opinions. You use the opinions of others as a sort of bootstrap or prior which you can always refine.

HN is actually the perfect place to ask for opinions. Someone just said bhyve does not support nested virtualization (useful input !). Someone else might chime in and say they have run bhyve for a long time and they trust it (and so on...)

So I can't agree with your viewpoint.
