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.
