Issue #4995 has been updated by Krzysztof Wilczynski.

Hi,

True. And both projects went their separate way a little. The maintainer of 
main LXC (not libvirt) also does not really care about libvirt support (at 
least that used to be the case).

As long as both projects provide a way to provision environment for an LXC 
guest to run we do not really care -- despite being a different projects they 
rely on in-kernel support (mainly driven by mainline LXC project) where both 
user-space LXC utilities are libvirt is there only to provision and manage 
(i.e. prepare environment, kick-off fake-init, setup networking via cgroups, 
etc, etc). It is true, that they do this in a little bit different way, but the 
end-result is the same. When I wrote this fact, I did my best to address 
various iterations of the LXC utilities as well as libvirt.

I have no tests, and therefore I can only add, that some people were asking 
about it on IRC, and then upon using it reported that it was working fine.
