I realise all this now. So do you - more so than most people as you're intimately familiar with the image.

I'm explaining the impression that it gives, rightly or wrongly, to those not as intimately familiar with it as you; those less familiar with Docker who may read through the README and come away thinking that it's ok to mix roles without appreciating the unwritten use cases you actually had in mind; those newer to Docker who have a Node app and a Ruby app and think "hey, this passenger-full image looks convenient, I'll use that" without appreciating the implications.

> It's even better than that: Redis and Memcached aren't even INSTALLED by default. Thus, no warning is needed. If you don't explicitly choose to use them, you do not pay any price.

Doesn't say that in the README, just says they're disabled. The fact they're not installed doesn't impact on the impression that's given.




Yes I was wrong about that last point, sorry about that.
