Just to tack on here... even if it's slightly OT for the BlueOnyx list.  ;)

 From my chair, that's par for course with the Virtuozzo / OpenVZ 
team.   IIRC, OpenVZ 6 was still in "extended support" well after the 
upstream RHEL 6 went EOL, partially due to the time it took to get 
OpenVZ 7 out the door.

Without going into the why and wherefore of the reasons for this, I'll 
point out that the Virtuozzo 7 EOL is currently slugged as July 2025. 
https://docs.virtuozzo.com/virtuozzo_product_lifecycle_policy/index.html

OpenVZ's EOL is currently listed as "TBD". https://wiki.openvz.org/Releases

Based on this, it's fair to assume that from a stability standpoint, 
existing OpenVZ 7 (and Aventurin{e} 6109R) platforms should be fine to 
continue for a bit.  Obviously, from a feature and kernel support 
standpoint, an upgrade would be welcome.

While I crave an updated containerized platform, I wanted to point out 
the history to address any "the sky is falling" concerns.  FWIW.
