Paul, you might want to talk to James Noble, I'm not sure about the NDAs required by them to run Virtuozzo or Ensim, but I *know* they've got both and they're looking to migrate to linux-vserver (ensim from what I hear is a cpu-hog.. and I know firsthand that virtuozzo is about a year behind in kernel stuff and afaik, they're adding redhat 8 support just this year.)
