I think virtualization can take care of consistent deployments. And developing under a virtualized container ensures consistency from multiple platforms. My point is: a source-based approach is not the tool to blame for consistency, it's used with lazy concern, and that's a mistake onto the crafter. I work on two different platforms as one. Virtualization achieves that.

Yes, freezing particular OS configurations into golden images on a virt platform can make a source-based approach repeatable. Unfortunately, this just moves the problem: I now have to maintain the golden images. Relying on virtualization for repeatable source-based deployment is like screwing in a lightbulb by rotating the entire building around the bulb.
