"Because of an ever-changing environment with 'so so' ABIs. Maybe the should first introduce a stable and developer kernel again beforce trying to be professional."
What do you mean? The kernel userspace ABI is very stable (you can run stuff compiled for linux 1.0 on a recent 2.6 kernel, as long as it is statically compiled, that is, since (g)libc has changed a lot since then). Now, the kernel _internal_ ABI isn't stable, but I don't see how that affects virtualization/containers...
