If we are to have a complete unit/integrated testing environment of the Stratos code base then getting the whole test suite run indedependant of underlying IaaS environments like Openstack, EC2 and wholly depend on a mock IaaS environment is great ease for developers. Perhaps like Pradeep said no need to depend on lxc either.
