Hi Sam,

These patches are certainly getting better and better broken out all the
time. Nice work.

But, I worry that they just aren't generic enough yet. I don't see any
response from any of the other "container/namespace/vps" people. I fear
that this means that they don't look broadly useful enough, yet.

That said, at this point, I'd just about rather have _anything_ merged
than the nothing we have at this point. As we throw patches back and
forth, we can't seem to agree on even some very small points.

I also have a sinking feeling that everybody has gone back off and
continues to develop their own out-of-tree functionality, deepening the
patch divide.

Is there anything we could merge that we _all_ don't like? I'm pretty
convinced that no single solution will support Eric's, OpenVZ's, and
VServer's _existing_ usage models. Somebody is going to have to bend,
or nothing will ever get merged. Any volunteers? ;)

What about going back to the very simple "struct container" on which to
build?
