Yes, but we only just got back and the official minutes have not been
sent out.

As I recall, we don't believe that either we or upstream will be able to
support vserver properly for the duration of squeeze.  If the upstream
project provides a patch against the squeeze kernel version then we can
probably use it, but we will warn that it is not fully supported and
likely to be removed in the following release.
