I did most of the work for the fedora template
yes the febootstrap is deprecated, because the developer of febootstrap
changed direction and is focusing on creating ultra thin fedora images
which did not work for lxc
http://informatiq.org/content/lxc-fedora-now-works-f15-onwards for more info

lxc-fedora is a template script in /usr/lib64/lxc/templates/lxc-fedora and
is called when u pass the -t parameter to lxc-create

there is also a script i pated in the mailing list called lxc-start-fedora
as a workaround

I'll try to write up more about lxc and fedora soon
