This is news to me, because in Fedora, we *do* ship the libvirt-lxc
driver as a separate subpackage[1], and we have for a very long time.
Also, libvirt definitely did not drop support for LXC, and it's still
offered in Fedora.
Red Hat has decided to drop it from Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but that
doesn't mean that it's not still available and maintained.
