I installed Ubuntu 18.04 in a virtualbox, and then installed lxc (lxc 2.1.1)
ii lxc1 2.1.1-0ubuntu1 amd64 Linux Containers userspace tools I then created an 18.04 container on the virtualbox. And did a little with it. Based on root@scspc578-u1804-20171108:/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts$ ls -ld bionic lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Oct 25 22:30 bionic -> gutsy root@scspc578-u1804-20171108:/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts$ I created that same symlink on 16.04 (lxc 2.1.0) ii lxc1 2.1.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04.1~ppa1 amd64 Linux Containers userspace tools That appears to have allowed lxc-create -n u1804test -t ubuntu -- -r bionic to work on 16.04. (and the container to start and run, and claim to be 18.04 etc). (I don't see any waiting apt updates to lxc...) No disasters so far.
