Yep... OpenVDS-2 will be based on those patches. I would love to see them
incorporated in the main kernel tree. They're small enough and easy to
maintain.

Also, the rest of the little utilities can come handy, but like you say, we
need do turn this in a complete product, and this is where openvds is
heading.

After you get a better understanding of how that stuff works, you'll love
it.
