If you have applications that only run on C3, then it provides the
information necessary for maintaining future C3 installations on newer
hardware that C3 does not natively support. I would think it would be
sufficient to state that C3 will run inside a virtual container and that
you would follow X existing document to setup virtual containers and Y
existing document for installing C3. pps - C3 is no longer maintained,
migrating to C4/5/6 is recommended.
