It may be in the future that it's demonstrable that all container-building runs have the *same* hacks every time and we can revisit.

I'm not sure if it can or if the errors we will run into are Yeah, Linux containers, although Dan Walsh will tell you that there is technically no such thing. > similar to what happens when we try to run in a mock (dbus/udev/X > anaconda requirements).
