	This is going to go a bit tangentially off topic.

	How about recent kernels?  2.6.27 hasn't been updated in a while and no
more recent kernel has appeared.

	Now that the lxc containers have been pretty much integrated into the
mainstream kernels, what's the roadmap looking forward?  Are the vz
utilities going to be adapted to use the lxc framework or is there a
migration path to lxc from openvz?
