It's just a recommendation. util-vserver 0.30.213+ will automatically
handle the assignment of a static context id for you (for new guests),
with any previous version you'd have to handle it manually.

As the kernel and utils are massively backwards-compatible, you're pretty
much supposed to be able to run any combination of kernel and utils and
have it at least semi-work. The latest utils are of course always
recommended, and that's most likely what you'll need if you want to use
all the features of a recent kernel.
