[lxc-users] LXC 1.0.4 has been released!

[Stéphane Graber]

The Ubuntu update process is designed to quickly get simple, verifiable
fixes to our users. That works fine when we're pushing an update to fix
a single bug, with a clear test case, small readable code diff.

LXC 1.0.4 is very far from that, it's almost 80 changes, most of them
without even a bug report to go with, so reviewing the whole changeset
and testing it sufficiently to be reasonably sure we won't be causing
regressions by pushing that to our users takes time.
