Hi Noel - it is indeed binary compatible, though it doesn't have the exact
same packages and at Schrodinger we've seen issue with that in the wild
before even after we've tested on CentOS.  That said, I think I've figured
out how RedHat wants us to do this.  If I subscribe a RedHat desktop then
it'll pass its repo permissions down to any containers started on it, so I
can register a single machine to build the containers.  Once the containers
are built and pushed up to dockerhub, anyone can use them to test the build
since they won't need to access any subscription features.
