+<p>
+Some virtual machines are flagged as build-only due to being EOL and/or
+containing security vulnerabilities. These virtual machines will not
+automatically be used by Gentoo for the running of applications using Gentoo
+launchers but will still be available for use by Gentoo's build environment as
+some packages may require them for building. The setting of these virtual
+machines as either your system or user VM is strongly discouraged as these VMs
+will then be used when running the <path>/usr/bin/{java,javac,..}</path>
+executables and will also be used by any packages not using Gentoo's launcher
+scripts.
