[lxc-devel] Container startup hook arguments

Hi everyone, 

Since the start, lxc container startup hooks have gotten some redundant information as command line arguments, which is also available as environment variables.

Is anyone making use of that? I'm wondering whether any existing installations would have broken scripts if we get rid of those.

https://github.com/lxc/lxc/issues/1766 is one sensible request to stsending these args, and I suspect that CNI binaries will also not like them.

Removing them is probably 3.0 material, as even if noone replies saying they use them, our community doesn't exactly work like that... but it sure would be nice to drop them :)
