I would very much like to see this synced as well as lxc 0.7.2 fixes a very serious issue with using a physical ethernet interface for a container. Before 0.7.2 a physical interface would not be "released" once a container stopped, making it impossible to use that physical interface with another container, or even the same container, until a full system restart was performed.

The full 0.7.2 release notes for lxc can be found here: http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/lxc/lxc/lxc-0.7.2/RELEASE-NOTES

Some excerpts about the physical interface problem I was describing before:
* fix inverted network interface creation
* keep the name of the physical interface
* fix core dump when using physical interface
* Dont' try to remove a physical nic on error
