Re: Docker

I don't consider what the other people want to do or not. There are a lot
of developers that opted for non standard solutions and generally this is
not a good idea,in the same way and for the same reasons of the closed
source code. Infact I don't see a big difference between the choice to not
share source code and the choice to not adopt a non-interoperable
technology. The mindset behind these choices have the same matrix. Since
they act like this,should we do the same ? Interoperability is a good thing
and should be followed regardless of what the other developers want or
don't want to do.
