I think your and my definition of "proper" are at odds here ;-> My logic says there's a causality effect and you always fix the cause in such a situation. Here's the anology of our conversation (some captured above) as i see it centred around a bug of leaky pipe which just messed up the carpet overnight in some room: handyman Jamal: fix the pipe so it doesnt leak. handyman Jarek: put a little bucket below the dripping spot handyman Jamal: fixing this pipe is cheap - it is on warranty too handyman Jarek: I fixed two other rooms by putting buckets handyman Jamal: Proper: fix the pipe - you dont need the buckets forever handyman Jarek: Proper fix is to put the bucket below any drip Of course i am exagerating to make a point on our logical approaches: leaking pipes dont quiet match software bugs i.e. a dripping pipe will have the short term sense of emergency of needing buckets but in this case the cost of the damage and time is the same if you put a bucket or fixed the pipe. > And, yes, I have some > fear we could break some strange configs, which could depend on this > wrong but working design. To continue our discussion handyman Jamal: What is your fear about fixing the pipe? handyman Jarek: Someone may have plants which depend on the drips; so if you fix it his plants wont get water anymore. I hope the above doesnt offend you - it is meant in good spirit. cheers, jamal _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
