Sorry that I haven't stated it before, should've done it. Let me explain.
The RHEL6-based kernel is stable (or supposed to be stable).
The ploop feature is not, and it not supposed to be as of now. Call it
"beta" or "technology preview" or any other name suggesting it is not
ready for production systems yet.
This feature is orthogonal to other kernel functionality, so there is no
paradox here.

(1) Man pages are not supposed to mark feature status.
(2) I have put a big red warning on http://wiki.openvz.org/Ploop saying
this is not yet ready for production.
