As you should be aware... they have released the source code to the EL7-based OpenVZ branch... but it is very much still a work in progress... and will remain so for some time to come... and to the best of my knowledge... nowhere... is anyone... recommending it as the stable platform for using OpenVZ at this time.

If you want to use OpenVZ... use the current stable EL6-based OpenVZ kernel and vz-utils (vzctl, vzquota, ploop, etc) on a supported host node distribution... and RHEL6 and clones (CentOS, Scientific Linux, OEL, etc) is recommended... although it can be made to work on Debian 7 as well.

Yes, the future direction is the EL7-based kernel and the migration to the recently open sourced virtuozzo management tools... but that is down the road some.

TYL,
