I disagree, the name itself is of no importance at all,
the fact, that the name of kernel patch is not equal
to the userspace tools can at best be seen as an advantage
which allows to have different version numbers for patch
and tools ... (how often did I hear about the 0.22 patch
and the ctx17 release ;)

agreed on that, but, and I guess that is the best
solution for the moment, not necessarily in util-vserver
which, at the moment, is Enricos domain only ...
to simplify that, and because of some issues with the
new syscall switch (or the userspace tools), I will
release the c17f version as vserver-1.0, which works
well with both userspace implementations (Jack's and
Enrico's) so people can decide which tools they want
to use ...
so my wishes/suggestions are:
a) Enrico, please continue the development of util-vserver
in the way you think it's the best for the user ...
b) Jack, please continue development of the 'original'
vserver utilities, again, in the way you think it's
best for the user ...
c) Both, please adjust your tools to the vserver kernel
development (which will add many features in the near
future ...)
d) Community, send your suggestions, wishes, bug reports,
ideas to the developers ...
best,
Herbert
