Will there be a direct path for OpenVZ > LXC included in the upgrade to version 4 ?
Will 4 have to be a fresh install ?
You have misunderstand it. There is no actively development for OpenVZ in 3.10 kernel. The sources have been released as is and then it is up to the community to jump in. The former OpenVZ team has been acquired by Virtuozzo to concentrate of developing Virtuozzo Core.
OpenVZ is dead. The released source tree for RHEL7 has a long way to go before even to be considered beta. Add to this that all support utilities is not converted to RHEL7 and still only works with RHEL6 kernels. Given the fact that transition to RHEL7 for openvz started more than 3 years ago I will consider this as a proof that development has stalled.
OpenVZ dropped itself - see:

Dietmar, I don't see any words about dropping OpenVZ in our blog.
RHEL 7.1 GA 2014-06-09. RHEL 7.1 update 1 2015-03-05. And 2015-05-26 you cannot find even a Beta, yet an Alfa, for OpenVZ for RHEL 7! Justing current development progress an expected stable release seems no sooner that late 2016 which will be more that 2 years after initial release of RHEL 7. Also given the merge with Virtuozzo raises serious doubt to the nature of commitment for the general Linux kernel tree. I my book this is close to a dead project in the sense of following the former development cycles.It was not stalled, see patch flow in mailing list.
The blog talks about a 'merge'. But the problem is that there is no stable openvz for kernel 3.10.0 or newer.
We planned the jessie based release one year ago, and by that time there was no information available.
But will re-evalutate the openvz tools (or how will you call it?) as soon as you release a stable version.
Do you already have a planned release date?
If I understand correctly, you plan to merge (or replace) vzctl with Parallels Cloud Server. Is there already some
code? We have a very special cluster environment, so I do not even know if that new code integrates well
until I have something to test.
sergeyb;112521and additionally we will add unified console tool [I said:prlctl, [/I]it will be able to manage containers as well as virtual machines.
You talk about a tool to manage KVM based virtual machines?
Yes. It will be possible to manage containers as well as virtual machines via single tool.
We are working under integration KVM/QEMU and LibVirt to Virtuozzo.
I'm really surprised, but fully support this decision. LXC container on ceph rbd with HA capabilities would be nice (also shared mounts from host). Do you plan to support live migration with LXC with CRIU or similar?
