As for mainstream integration, I can say OpenVZ is committed to merging "containers" functionality to mainstream. I have just checked the number of changesets submitted by OpenVZ and Linux-VServer guys, using up-to-date Linus' kernel git tree. For the last 365 days (i.e. a year) there were 818 changesets from OpenVZ guys and only 14 patches from VServer guys. These numbers could be wrong (maybe I'm missing someone) but not totally wrong.

Also, IMHO the document http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines is not applicable to this case because it describes patches that are [not] welcome to "standard" Debian kernel, while OpenVZ, Linux-VServer, Xen etc. provide "flavored" kernels. In other words, these all are special kernels with special use cases. So, either this policy is not applicable, or linux-image-vserver and linux-image-xen are all not conforming to the policy.

As for 2.6.26, OpenVZ team plans to start porting to that kernel as soon as 2.6.26-rc1 is released. <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines?action=fullsearch&value=linkto%3A%22DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines%22&context=180>
