On the presumption it is backwards compatible as claimed, this seems ok.
The new features all seem optional, and existing configs all are
supported. +1.

Title:
[FFe] LXC 2.1
Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
LXC upstream just released LXC 2.1. This was meant to happen right
before the Ubuntu feature freeze but we ran a bit late due to last
minute bugfixes and cleanups.
LXC 2.1 is generally backward compatible all the way down to LXC 1.0
and higher, including at the ABI level (new symbols got added but none
were changed or removed since LXC 1.0). So getting LXC 2.1 in Ubuntu
17.04 wouldn't require any porting or changes to any downstream
software in the archive.
This release is meant as a transitional release between the 2.0 and 3.0
series of LXC. A great number of configuration options were changed and a
number of tools and commands have now been marked as deprecated. But all this
without actually removing any of those, instead LXC 2.1 is issuing warnings and
providing tooling to automatically convert the needed configuration files.
This will give some time for our users to notice anything that needs
updating and get it done before they upgrade to LXC 3.0 and things
will stop working until they do those changes then.
Detailed on the LXC 2.1 release are here:
https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/lxc-2-1-has-been-released/487
We have packages ready to upload to artful and that have been used
during development in our various PPAs. We therefore don't expect any
significant issues with this hitting the Ubuntu archive.
