I can imagine it. But 'vserver <guest> stop' is not fast enough:

# time vserver vs03 stop
[...]
real    0m12.327s
user    0m0.204s
sys     0m0.137s

# time vserver vs03 start
[...]
real    0m0.923s
user    0m0.215s
sys     0m0.161s

These durations can not compete against Xen's live migration.

If it fits your needs - different concept, different features.
