This specific example is to address one of the FESCo concerns about
the cloud VM images using btrfs by default. Since RHEL VM host systems
cannot read the btrfs filesystem, we want to ship a containerized
version of libguestfs that CAN.
That can what? As far as I know, libguestfs relies on the host to mount the filesystem. A container still depends on the host kernel, which means a rhel VM still isn't going to be able to mount the guest btrfs disk...
