I see this as a good reason to have a simple control panel. When you 
seldom use something, you tend to forget how to do things, or in the 
case of manageing multiple servers, you forget how each one is 
configured. A simple visual interface helps to get the job done with the 
confidence your not going to break anything.

As a developer, I may be required to install something on a clients 
machine, and I want to set up a container to protect their system and 
myself from any mishap.  A simple ncurses app, would allow me to add a 
container without worrying about what distro i am using, or interfering 
with existing containers should there be any.

As a newbie, I may want to try LXC out without a steep learning curve.
