The libbe doc this thread refers to hasn't been updated with the Container 
strategy. The initial thoughts were to have libbe manage Container snapshot and 
cloning. Granted this overlaps with what pkg(5) will need to do in order to 
support installing/removing packages to/from Containers but coming to an 
agreement on the boundaries still needs to be hashed out.  You can find the 
beginnings of the Container requirements here:
