Thank you Dmitry for your notes !

But one question : when you say the wheels need to be rebuild for the OS in 
repo-server, how do we do that, and keep and maintain the two versions ?

Doing a rolling remove/rebuild/re-add for each server seems fine if a mixed OS 
deployment is supported for the hosts OS.

Concerning the LXC OS, is it built based on the host one, or a config 
somewhere ?
Do all the containers need to be the same version ?

Again, it can be fine, but time consuming, if we first need to upgrade all 
hosts, recreating containers in xenial on them until all hosts are upgraded. 
And only after, recreate all containers in bionic.

Of course, but it would be great if that sort of documentation is ready when 
OSA Stein is out !
