I have been using linux-vserver on my machines for over 10 years, rock solid and I don't
know what I would do without it!

That being said, I am at a point now where I have requirements where I absolutely need
to have some Centos7 guests.  I understand it still cant be installed as a linux-vserver
guest because util-vserver doesnt work with systemd yet.

Centos5 "end of life" is less than a year away, glibc in Centos6  (eol in 2020) is already
too old for many current applications, so Centos7 support i would think is going to
have to be inevitable.  I have had to resort to buying a separate machine to install
Centos7 standalone.  I am sure there are a ton of happy linux-vserver users in the same
boat, and as time goes on and distros use systemd it is going to become even more urgent,
else linux-vserver will be left by the wayside.

So please, please make it a priority to be able to install a Centos7 guest!
