Hi Shykes, glad to see you replying. Your point about communication is fair enough. I will take a look at how the communication can be improved. However, let me stress that the message is not "you're using Docker wrong unless you're using it our way". I see how it can be read like that, but the real message is much more technical, complicated and nuanced. The message is fourfold: 1. Your Unix system is wrong unless it conforms to certain technical requirements. 2. Explanation of the requirements. 3. One possible solution that satisfies these requirements: Baseimage-docker. 4. Does your image already satisfy the requirements? Great. If not, you can implement these requirements yourself, but why bother when you can grab Baseimage-docker? And oh, it happens to contain some useful stuff that are not strictly necessary but that lots of. As you can see, such a complicated message becomes waaay too long and hard to explain to most people. It probably only makes sense if you've contributed to the Linux kernel, or read an operating systems book. If I explained it in a way that's too technical and nuanced, 99% of the people will fall asleep after reading 1 paragraph. So the message was simplified. I apologize if the simplified message has offended you, and I am continuing to finetune the message. As the for the PID 1 issue: I genuinely thought you guys didn't include a PID 1 on purpose, because running one isn't that hard. Last time I talked to Jerome, he had the opinion that, if software couldn't deal with zombie processes existing on the system, it's a bug in the software. With that response in mind, I thought that the Docker team does not recognize the PID 1 issue as really an issue. So please do not mistake the lack of a bug report as malice. Later on, you told me that you guys are working on this, and I was glad to hear that. I get the feeling that you feel bitter about the fact that I chose to write Baseimage-docker instead of contributing a PID 1 to Docker. Please understand that I did not do this out of any adversarial intentions. My Go skills are minimal and I am busy enough with other stuff. This, combined with the fact that at the time I thought the PID 1 issue was simply not recognized, led to me write Baseimage-docker. I would like to stress that I look forward to friendly relationships with you, with the Docker team and with the community.
