In light of the concerns about overlayfs being sufficiently cooked in time for Precise, Andy Whitcroft and I have decided to re-enable aufs.
Thank you, that's helpful and comforting.
We will continue to advocate for dropping aufs in favor of a sufficient upstream solution at each development cycle. This means that aufs _will_ disappear in future backported LTS kernels. In other words, don't bet your business on aufs. I am speaking directly to the lxc and server folks. aufs has _one_ maintainer, is enormously complex, is difficult to integrate with each new kernel version, and will _never_ be accepted upstream.
Understood. We'll continue to try pushing forward with overlayfs ourselves, but we'll also now have a backup plan, which we appreciate. Hopefully other current aufs users will be in a similar boat.
