Their stated goal has been to first and foremost address the enterprise
distributions.  For them, "mainline" has been 2.6.18 of late for RHEL
and CentOS.  Tracking a rapidly developing kernel is difficult and an
immense amount of work, especially when the rapid development in exactly
where most of your changes are (container and namespace and
virtualization).

Yeah, that's curious.  I'd really be interested in knowing where the
problems are there.  If they are network related, I might have a few
suggestions (like avoiding macvlan for the moment and stick with bridged
- there are some corner cases which are not quite working properly).
