LXC 1.1 is a stable release, just not a long term release like 1.0.
Distributions like Ubuntu ship LXC 1.1 in their short term releases, so
running a recent distribution inside a container running on a host using
the long term support release is a pretty common usecase.

That happens reasonably often with VPS users where the VPS hoster runs
the long term release but the customer runs a more recent version of the
distribution and may want sub-containers. Another usecase is for CI
infrastructure where again, the CI container tends to run the latest
version of everything, but the host runs a long term stable release.
