What is wrong with Docker? This does not address any technical or other shortcoming and only seeks to replace one set of over engineered tools with another with the exact same problems. [1]

The is yet more of the ecosystem continuing to push over engineered tooling and 'winners' breathlessly without basic technical scrutiny that leaves end users dealing with needless complexity and debt.

Containers can be useful as a lightweight, efficient alternative to VMs and those who want containers untouched by questionable ideas should try the LXC project on which all this was based.

Any additional layer on top of this be it non standard OS environment or layers should meet technical scrutiny for end user benefits and most users will be surprised by the results.
