[Users] Status of OVZ 8 & 9

[jjs - mainphrame]

I've been asking the same question.

As much as I like openvz (using it since 2010) my last openvz server is now
running in a VM under proxmox.

In my experience openvz containers are more reliable than proxmox, but
proxmox does have a very nice web interface.

I hope the openvz project is revived before it's too late.
