That's how I use it.

Besides being the virtualization host, Owl perfectly fits for small
services normally running in a VDS (for me, that's only OpenVPN)
or in VPS (that's almost everything, unless it requires bloatware
like Java, Python or Ruby).

Possibly, we can create the VZ template with absolute minimum of
packages (primarily, libraries) for using as a starting point to
make containers for DNS, or mail server, or HTTP(S) frontend, or
database cluster member, or... whatever. Another option could be
to use multiple installorder.conf files for different setups and
choose among them during installation, like this:

make TARGET=3D(full|runtime|devel|host|vztemplate) installworld

That would allow our users to build their own distributions which
would perfectly fit their needs.
