I know Sergey and other Odin/Parallels/OpenVZ devs know this but for users out 
there...

BTW, that's is basically how OpenVZ worked in the first couple of years... when 
OpenVZ had a working vzpkg tool.  While some pre-created OS Templates had been 
created, most people used the vzpkg way to do it... where you built your own OS 
Templates on demand and could easily keep them up-to-date.

After vzpkg bitrooted because of underlying Python changes going from EL4 to 
EL5 and beyond... it basically died... and a heavy reliance on pre-created OS 
Templates resulted.  With the need for pre-created OS Templates, the amount and 
variety of them grew.

Of course people who weren't using OpenVZ the first few years of its life are 
only familiar with pre-created OS Templates.

TYL,
