Container questions regarding flavors and LXD upstream

I have a couple of questions around containers that I was hoping to get a definitive answer to.

Since Proxmox is running LXD on the backend:
  1. How come the image versions aren't inline with https://images.linuxcontainers.org/?
    1. Both for distribution and release.
  2. What does it take to support a new container flavor? I.e. if we try to import and use Amazon Linux we get:
    Code: 
    Detected container architecture: amd64unknown ID 'amzn' in /etc/os-release file, trying fallback detection
  Logical volume "vm-101-disk-0" successfully removed
TASK ERROR: unable to create CT 101 - unable to detect OS distribution
  3. Are there any plans to add a user accessible configuration for #2? I.e. a user-configurable "OS Template Definition"?
  4. In absence of #3 How does Proxmox decide what distributions to support and what versions to make available?

no it does not, pve uses its own code to wrap lxc

the relevant code is in https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-container.git;a=summary

no plans, since we generate some guest configs (e.g. network/resolv.conf/etc.) from our own config in /etc/pve/lxc/ID.conf

basically if users request support and/or send patches for it and it is not too hard to integrate
