Does this mean that python will be a requirement for lxc in future? I
am currently working on switching things from vserver, partially
because lxc has opened for less required dependencies on the host.

Currently an Alpine Linux lxc host with base + lxc installed is 6.9MB
excluding kernel. A corresponding vserver host is 11.6MB.

Python is 37MB.

Do we really need this bloat?
