+Additionally, kernels prior 3.4 did not implement ``reboot_pid_ns``,
+which means that the ``reboot()`` syscall could reboot the host machine,
+instead of terminating the container. To work around that problem,
+LXC userland tools (since version 0.8) automatically drop the ``SYS_BOOT``
+capability when necessary. Still, if you run a pre-3.4 kernel with pre-0.8
+LXC tools, be aware that containers can reboot the whole host! This is
+not something that Docker wants to address in the short term, since you
+shouldn't use kernels prior 3.8 with Docker anyway.
