As you know I've Herbert a company I work for tried to move to LXC. It  
wasn't a pleasant attempt. It is documented to be insecure to run  
privileged containers, but those are default. Moving to unprivileged  
containers means greater security, but breaks SystemD in guests.

That's purely the theory of operation, the practice is even worse.  
I've had LXC fail to work on it's parent distro Ubuntu. There's been  
additional issues too numerous to mention. The project is not mature  
and they change the config file structure every release, even between  
say 3.0 and 3.1. Even to projects scope has changed, with bits of  
LXCFS being merged into LXC.

I have great hopes for LXC still, but it's really not there yet IMHO.

SystemD on Linux-Vserver would be a great.
