Ok, I'll say it. I think we need efficient arbitrary depth nesting of containers.
Sure, it is incredibly bloaty.
But so is the way, say, npm works.
Bloaty apps often provide a ton of programmer convenience.
And history tells us that programmer convenience usually wins.
Docker style development already usually means bundling tons of redundant dependencies everywhere.
Let's just take that further, and hold your nose.
