Makes total sense, LXC has made a lot of progress over
the last few years and the fact that systemd plays
nicely with it is a big bonus.

The relatively small overhead of having an init process
running and using virtual network devices and stacks
is negligible unless you are running several thousand
guests at the same machine.

I've spent some deep thoughts on making Linux-VServer
systemd compatible but I think that, besides a lot of
work, this would only result in another version of LXC
which is definitely not what we want here ...
