It seems to me containerization is much more similar a feature to SYSV IPC, process accounting / auditing, and should be an option under General setup, possibly with its own submenu. Nearly all the features under general setup provide optional extensions to kernel services available from userspace, and so it seems containerization falls naturally into that category. Virtualization is completely different, and probably needs separate server (kvm, lguest) and client (kvm, lguest, xen, vmware) sections in it's menu.
