I saw this article first on G+ (and agree with many of the points). It's an interesting piece, and not very long.

It in a mess. I'm not complaining about old-school sysadmins. They know how to keep systems running, manage update and upgrade paths. This rant is about containers, prebuilt VMs, and the incredible mess they cause because their concept lacks notions of "trust" and "upgrades". ++++++++++ Ease of building is the reason I install X Windows on systems that I don't intend to actually run a windowing system on... Because I still use xmkmf (or did, last time I needed it). -- Noli Timere Messorem “Don't think of it as dying," said Death. "Just think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush."
