Unfortunately. Very sad.
I find your lack of knowkedge and history (at least as you have articulated your position in this thread) insulting and somewhat offensive. OpenVZ has been around for a long time... almost a decade in fact. It started off with an EL4-based kernel (EOL'ed now)... then EL5-based kerne (still supported)... then EL6-based kernel (still supported and the current stable platform)... and they are working on the EL7-based platform. There have been a number of issues between the OpenVZ Project and the commercial project it comes from as explained rather well in this video (als mentioned in my last post): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylNX4gEIJEc Yes the direction ahead looks to be a bumpy one but it makes a lot of sense to me... and that road ahead is the merging of the OpenVZ Project with the open sourcing of much of the Virtuozzo stuff... bringing the two projects closer together... and making it easier for folks to migrate from one to the other if desired. How long before the EL7-based setup is done and deemed "stable" and the preferred platform over the current EL6-based one? No idea... but yeah, they continue to maintain the EL6-based stable setup and all of the source code is available for it. I think your problem is that you have somehow gotten confused and think that OpenVZ/Odin is pushing the EL7-based branch as the stable / preferred platform now... and that is in no way the case at all. So far as documentation is concerned... it is not uncommon for a project in the development stages to not have manuals... and even when they have gone stable... to not have much documentation. I believe OpenVZ has had rather good (but not perfect) documentation for EL4, EL5, and EL6... and it remains to be seen how that will turn out for EL7. If the commercial oriented side of the project (that has been doing the vast majority of the work on the EL7 effort) can't get good docs for the EL7 stuff done... then of course it is up to the community to take a run at it.
