Actually, I guess what this means is just that Redhat is deprecating it, 
but the libvirt-lxc project as a whole is still moving forward for 
whatever distros want to include it, so we probably could still use it 
as a non-Redhat supported package. But, I think we'll continue with our 
move to LXC since it does seem to have a lot of momentum going for it. I 
think it's the right direction to move for the long term.
