I realize this won't work for all OSs, but it does work for enough to warrant looking into since containers have better workflows for local testing when something does fail.
The main overhead is actually maintaining your stable of base images, and the infrastructure for doing that with containers independently of DockerHub is currently still fairly immature. At this point in history, we'd probably be better off hooking up the BuildBot master's VM worker support up to the PSF's Rackspace account - our throughput is low enough that the VM vs container overhead shouldn't matter. There may still be value in enabling local container based testing for CPython itself, though. At the very least, between Vagrant and Docker we should be able to automate *local* testing across various POSIX systems without affecting the host system (beyond installing Vagrant and potentially VirtualBox), and Windows folks may even be able to figure out how to automate that side of things as well (at least with an active MSDN subscription).
