As xenial is close in being released this is probably going to stay in Which is unfortunate, because we really don't need the containers when already virtualized, eg. Amazon, DigitalOcean or even in homelabs proxmox.
What's even more annoying is that this is not the only package that now gets installed by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563026 Title: LXC/LXD installed by default on Ubuntu server Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: When performing a new installation of Ubuntu server 16.04 Beta 2, LXC and LXD are included in the default packages even when "Virtual Server" is not selected as an installation task. This brings in all of the required dependencies as well, obviously, which seems like it is not the best default behavior to have. When installing from a non-UEFI boot, the user may select "minimal install" from the "F4" menu. This menu is not available from the UEFI grub environment, making it apparently impossible to select an installation that does not include the LXC and LXD suite by default.
