"LXC used as a container for all dynos running on Celadon Cedar"

Has anybody published a complete SELinux or SMACK policy to use LXC with untrusted users? Last I checked LXC wasn't fully ready yet.

Very interested to hear this as well. Anyone from Heroku can comment?
LXC is one of several isolation layers used in the Heroku dyno manifold to ensure process security and resource guarantees. Here is a more in-depth discussion of Heroku dyno isolation: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dyno-isolation.
So LXC is fully secure now if you stick to chroot?

You can't contain root in lxc. It's great for unprivileged users, though.
