Thing is, on top of being stable, it should be useful. If you're using containers just for your own code - fine. If you mix and match other repos and ecosystems like we and many others do, good luck with FreeBSD. 60% of the time, interesting repos already have a Dockerfile and if they don't, it's usually pretty easy to write one. With FreeBSD containers, I'd have to do all the wiring myself - if and only if it even compiles and works out of the box on a non-Linux system.

At least you end up with self-baked solution based on stable technology, instead of self-baked solution for unstable technology. And when it comes to software, its hard to find one that doesnt work on FreeBSD (there's over 24k of precompiled packages available!), not to mention FreeBSD's Linuxulator, that is Linux kernel emulation, built in, so that sentence may be considered spreading a FUD.
