Because people generally don't know that stuff yet. And if one starts explaining all this complexity, bug-potentiality and overhead-potentiality to kernel developers without first making it very clear what it will be gaining us, they will revolt. IOW: do not presume that people want *any* of this stuff at this stage. First up, they need to get all fired up about how cool it all will be ;) _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
