If 16.04 is still considered LTS supported up to 5 years (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes) then we must backport it. Otherwise we should somehow change the "Support lifespan" there in order not to direct people to loose confidence for LTS versions and UBUNTU itself.
Many other problems are related to this bug (https://askubuntu.com/questions/994926/ubuntu-16-04-freezes-on-vagrant-up/997426#997426) not announced here. And freezing the whole system with the official supported installation is a serious drawback.

==> Please either backport VirtualBox 5.2.6 to 16.04 LTS OR change the official kernel in order not to freeze the system.
