I could not find on Google any mention of Red Hat killing LXC on

Here's the first reference I came across a few months ago:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/1365153. There's no date indicated
here so I really don't know what this means, but I just did another
search to see if I could find some more information. I came across
this thread:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2015-August/msg00026.html
This was a fairly recent thread and I'd not found this before. If you
read through the follow-ups apparently libvirt-lxc is *not* being
deprecated:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2015-August/msg00030.html
So, it appears I was mistaken. I'm not sure where that leaves me
though. One issue we've had with libvirt-lxc is that although it's a
great product there seems to be very little activity with the project.
My own posts to the libvirt-lxc mailing list often go unanswered,
whereas this mailing list (by comparison) is great. Posts to more
generic forums are more often than not to find information related to
LXC and not libvirt-lxc. The community for libvirt-lxc just doesn't
seem that large.
Looks like I have some thinking to do...
Actually, I guess what this means is just that Redhat is deprecating it,
but the libvirt-lxc project as a whole is still moving forward for
whatever distros want to include it, so we probably could still use it
as a non-Redhat supported package. But, I think we'll continue with our
move to LXC since it does seem to have a lot of momentum going for it. I
think it's the right direction to move for the long term.
