What do you have in mind when you talk about LSB for Docker?

  A lot of why we have containers is to stop dependency hell, but having a stable platform to built on is another way to achieve that without containers at all. Of course it seems like the other reason we use them is to bundle multiple services together, but I'm not exactly a microservice fan to begin with. In any case, I don't see why we couldn't have an OS that makes debian packages into containers, sharing things that are needed by multiple containers as appropriate while allowing overrides. Android apps have a pretty nice model. If Android were a bit more open and had a few modifications to better support that use case, it seems like Dart/Android would make a pretty nice backend, assuming the ecosystem was there. Android proved the benefits of an extremely opinionated inside the box kind of system, making APKs run on Linux and Windows seems like it would have a ton of uses.

    Feels a bit like lxc plus distroless. (need to think more about what you said, mind, that's just a random first thought, no warranty express or implied)
