Containers are an indicator of conceptual decay. Application developer
code has now become infrastructure and is due to the juniority far
away from any half-standardized protocols. I

that's irrelevant. you still need the right version of loonix with
namespaces support, etc.
containers are not independent of the operating system.
Only slightly relevant, but I found this on Alan Cox' feed today:

for everything that I have ever wanted to do. Dunno about the party line
