hmm? last time I checked OpenVZ was quite bloated
compared to Linux-VServer, and Eric's network part
isn't even there yet ...
This is rather subjective feeling.
of course, of course ...

Herbert,
Please stop seeding, hmm, falseness. OpenVZ patches you mention are
against 2.6.8 kernel, thus they contain tons of backported mainstream
bugfixes and driver updates; so, most of this size is not
virtualization, but general security/stability/drivers stuff. And yes,
that size also indirectly tells how much work we do to keep our users happy.
Back to the topic. If you (or somebody else) wants to see the real size
of things, take a look at broken-out patch set, available from
http://download.openvz.org/kernel/broken-out/. Here (2.6.15-025stab014.1
kernel) we see that it all boils down to:
Virtualization stuff: diff-vemix-20060120-core 817K
Resource management (User Beancounters): diff-ubc-20060120 377K
Two-level disk quota: diff-vzdq-20051219-2 154K
