I will not be porting vmadm(1M) over from SmartOS, so I need to think about how LX will fit in with traditional zone tools.  I may discover other problems, but until I start the '018 process, and immediately after '018 ships, I will need to ensure no ipkg/lipkg regressions first and foremost.

    It's been on hold while the 018 ramp-up occurs.

    NO!  We're not close to ready.

    You can take the io-lx repo and compile it, and then ONU.  I can tell you that ipkg & lipkg zones are broken currently, so there's a LOT of work.

    Furthermore, there's been some joyent upstreaming since last I froze the public io-lx repo, so I may need to start over with a fresh pull of the Joyent bits.

    You can ONU to io-lx like you ONU to any other illumos-{gate,omnios} build.  Same warnings for env files, etc. etc.
