Hmm, I just re-read http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#deprecated
and it says "Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 will be the last release to include Linux kernel virtualization featuresets outside of mainline. This means that the OpenVZ and Linux-Vserver featuresets should be considered deprecated" OK, that's fair enough, but it doesn't say "and support will be dropped about a year after Squeeze is released, but before wheezy is ready", unless there's some fine-print I'm missing somewhere... Doesn't that look like dropping Debian+OpenVZ users in it a bit? Suddenly they have to switch to a non-Debian kernel (or otherwise a completely different virtualisation technology) half way through a stable release with no notice, and then manually track security updates outside of the Debian security infrastructure etc.? Is LXC considered to be a practical OpenVZ replacement by now? It doesn't really seem to be getting much attention, and I can't say I know anyone who's using it...
