(for the folks maintaining? the munin plugin)
it would be better to use the kernel interfaces to
gather guest information, because they are stable
compared to the proc interfaces (which are just
convenience for the user to get a quick overview)

this is mainly because mainline changed i.e. that
is not related to the Linux-VServer version, but
to the baseline kernel version ...
what changed is that the UTS namespace was merged
upstream (into mainline kernels) and of course,
Linux-VServer uses that (starting with a certain
kernel version)

this one will be updated (I hope :) but feel free
to ask around on the IRC channel and bring it up
to date yourself ...

nope, on the contrary, it is the name mainline uses
for a space aggregation, so it is 'the future' :)
