It is also quite possible for old containers to no longer build.

  That's why your build pipeline alerts you when tests no longer work, and then you have a release of the previous build still available for download at any time. This is how containers are released!

    Sure. It still is burdensome, though. Now there are lots of nightly build from old projects that break at random times and require developer attention.

      You just described all software, for the decades it often runs. Entropy sucks.

        The point of the article is that this does not have to be the case, and is not the case for all software.

          There's a lot of software that ends up lasting for decades, through multiple OS platform refreshes. Normally there's a small platform/OS team that gets to slog through gardening that mess while everyone else is long gone.
