If you're not sure how something is support to work, please ask 
questions instead of sending a patch.  You should only send patches if 
you understand what the patch needs to do.  If you aren't sure if a 
patch is correct, it's okay to send it as an RFC (RFC means "Request For 
Comments").

In this case, it sounds like you aren't sure how containers work.  And 
that's alright.  However, if you are confused about something, it's not 
a problem to send an e-mail (you can email me privately or send an 
e-mail to cimtest-devel at opensource.ibm.com).  If you want, we can even 
set up a time to meet on IRC to discuss any questions you have.

Thanks!
