Excuse what may be a dumb question, but why are we not just building pyro for example in a Ubuntu 16.04 or centos7 (or anything else with official containers available) ? Is the performance hit too much, even with good volume management? And extend that for other branches of course. But as we look at why people care about such old releases (or, supporting a current release into the future) it seems like "our build environment is a container / VM so we can support this on modern HW" pops up. -- Tom
