What is interesting with the containers is the scalability. The more 
CPU/memory you have, the more you can add containers.
AFAIK, sourceforge provides a shell inside an OpenVZ container for the 
sourceforge users where they do some trivial maintenance tasks on their 
project. The more the containers are scalable, the less sourceforge has 
to invest on new hardware as they can provide more shells on a single node.
