Is it really that hard for researchers to standardize around providing Dockerfiles? Environment replication is a solved problem.

VMs are better, but even then, performance isn't portable either. The last artifact I produced included builds of 3 web browsers from source--it was over 10GB. One doesn't just "build Chrome in a dockerfile".
