[Users] Any hope for a return of OVZ?

[jehan Procaccia]

Hi, exactly same story here, long time user of openVZ , even subscribe 
to few Virtuozzo licences (VHS) to support the project

we've been waiting for ovz9 to no avail, nowdays  that there's a RHEL 
10,  there might be an interest for ovz 10 !

anyway, we've moved to Proxmox, using LXC container when possible, that 
works quite fine, I didn't notice yet  a  2 times faster result from 
PMX/LCX  in regards to openVZ CT, but didn't took the time to bench .

it's indeed a shame, while Virtuozzo still claim :

/OpenVZ <https://openvz.org/> is a free, open-source virtualization 
solution available under GNU GPL. *OpenVZ is the base for Virtuozzo 
Hybrid Server*, the commercial solution that builds on OpenVZ and offers 
additional benefits to customers./
