I once gave a lunch talk at Docker, inc, which included several slides of suggestions of features to add to Docker. Prominently featured was the request for a native command to clean old images. An engineer in attendance remarked incredulously that he could not believe that users would not know how to pipe docker ls into xargs docker rmi.

- sureglymop 5y agoI dabble in embedded development, mainly as a hobby and I mainly deal with e-book reader devices. Let me tell you this, if a device doesn't need a certain binary or tool, it ideally shouldn't be there. For security reasons etc. And with embedded devices with a specific purpose it's highly likely that there will be very little there. But anyway, I was mainly saying that in principle this should be considered.
