Solves might be strong, but it removes a big portion of the cold start latency that was difficult to optimize for and out of the control of developers. Creating minimal images isn't difficult for a number of environments (e.g. webpacking your node.js lambdas) and barring necessarily large images (think pandas on Lambda) this puts a lot of control for the cold start p99 back in the hands of customers. Overall, definitely a big win!
