lxc is sort of just a wrapper and is pretty broken (I found around 10 bugs before giving up) why build on lxc? a simple C library (not libvirt) would be much better.

We built on lxc to save time and move faster on the things that differentiate Docker: image management, build from source, a developer-friendly UI, etc. Now that Docker has traction we can go back and invest more time in a cleaner, leaner implementation of our own. We have already started gradually: Docker has a low-level implemetation of cgroups, capability dropping, bridge and veth handling, and there is a pull request for namespacing. None of these are rocket science.

Did you file any bugs? Cause thats how things get better...

  Yes.

  No because it's the code itself that is the problem not actual bugs but wrong behaviour lxc has too much to address. It would take me months to work on it.
