The problem specifically is "just".
"Why don't they use containers instead of tarballs?" is a excellent question which can help you understand a system better.
"Why don't they just use containers instead of tarballs?" strongly suggests that containers are obviously superior and there must be some flaw in the system that's keeping the tarballs around.
- burnished 5y agoI think you are correct, thank you for pointing that out to me.
- jfrunyon 5y ago"Just" suggests that containers appear better for the purpose at hand from the questioner's perspective. Which is also suggested by the question being asked at all.
- musicale 5y agoI think "just" is supposed to imply that the proposed solution might be simpler or easier in some way, not that it's obviously superior overall. [Of course in the case of containers vs. tarballs ... it might actually make the system more complex and more difficult to implement, use, and maintain - something which might be nice to state explicitly along with the reasons why. >;-)]
