Please see https://github.com/sagemath/docker/issues/4

I don't know what's driving so much traffic there, but I need to find
a way to *clearly* deprecate it without breaking things for whoever it
is that's relying on it.  Anyways, the docker containers really should
be preferred over the VM.  Forcing people on Windows to use a VM is
terrible.  I tried to push on this a few months ago but it either
wasn't ready or nobody listened.
