This is a more charitable interpretation of what I meant: "we can quickly test the value of an idea via a prototype without the cost of making it super well behaved in other areas." Which is an excellent application of containers!

I just sometimes wonder if the cart hasn't gotten in front of the horse on the whole container front. The fact that the term "bare iron" has been hijacked to mean "not under virtualization" made me start to think that something is seriously fucked up.
