@swetland Yeah, there is a lot of this kind of thing that strikes me as rather adjacent to PHK's "lost in the bazaar" ... containers and build-systems show up as a kind of "best practices" default in projects where an autoconf-less Makefile or shell script would actually be better in nearly every way. A lot of CI/CD stuff is like this too.

@cda @swetland these "best practices" are pushed by the same companies that invented "software bill of materials" and other stuff they believe hobby developers owe them for zero payment.
