Which VServer version we should put in the 2.6.19 LINUX_2_6?

On the project site there are three interesting versions:

* vs2.1.1.5 -  the latest version of the Linux-VServer development patch
* vs2.2.0-rc4 - the latest prepatch version of the upcoming stable
Linux-VServer patch
* vs2.3.0.3 - the latest prepatch version of the upcoming Linux-VServer
development patch

In our spec we still use 2.1 development line.

There is a feature matrix http://linux-vserver.org/Feature_Matrix
which unfortunatelly does not feature 2.3 version, but shows that 2.1
have more features than 2.2.

Simple diff [1] shows that indeed 2.2 is mostly 2.1 without some
features (3225 lines substracted, 54 added, counted without diff
headers), and 2.3 is basically 2.1 with one small change (2 lines added,
1 substracted).

Political question - stay with 2.1 with its unique features, move to 2.2
(and stabilize) or be brave and jump into 2.3 line to have the features
(and ride on the edge in the future :-) ?

Do you use the 2.1 unique (over 2.2) features?

Marek
