openvz linux image do not have stable ABI.
this allows us more easily to update the patchset ones an update
or fix comes up.

If you'd really looked at the past, you'd see that concerning for
2.6.32 we are totally synced with openvz git and for 2.6.26 to 99%,
where the missing 1% were irrelevant for the Debian images.

I get annoyed by the questions you seem to reask and your
assessments. Also the pattern of unedited fwd is just to common.

No angry mail, just a reflection of the current state of affairs.
It seems you never cloned the openvz git tree nor follow it.
This git tree is currently unmaintained and as such risky for any user.

please do the minimum of research that is a git clone of
	git://git.openvz.org/pub/linux-2.6.32-openvz

If you see no movements there, but lots of stable releases piling up
and you see new 2.6.32 openvz RH release politely ask the openvz guys
themselves and not me why the fuck nothing happens.

thank you.
