Yep, I left that vague and should have used the term "linux containers" instead 
of LXC.  I'm going to update the page to reflect this.

This feature architecturally doesn't care which project manages/initiates the 
container.  All we care about is that the container has it's own isolated 
network namespace that is reachable from the host (or whatever node is remotely 
managing the resources within the container)  I intentionally chose to use 
tcp/tls as the first transport we will support to avoid locking this feature 
into use with any specific virt technology.

With that said, I'm likely going to be focusing my test cases on libvirt-lxc 
just because it seems like it has better fedora support.  The LXC project 
appears to be moving all over the place.  Part of the project is really to 
identify good use-cases for linux containers in an HA environment.  The kvm 
use-case is fairly straight forward and well understood though.  I'll update 
the page to list the linux container use-case as a possible risk.
