Dear Harald,

Thanks for your bug report.

This point looks valid to me. This dependency was set back in 2016 by
Evgeni (Cc-ed), in commit 4f5f71fb39d52a7c0927fb10709c592e39cfe300.

Evgeni, do you think dropping that would make a lot of new lxc users
have troubles?

Cheers,

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
