Hi,
AFAIK, vserver is based on a modified kernel, and there is no intention to
upstream it in the near future.
My question is: why is it in fact so ? Is it because the changes to the
kernel done by vserver are not most likely or inherently to be accepted by
the kernel community ?
Or is it simply a matter of too much effort (upstreaming is known to be a
tough task)

Regards,
Kevin
