I've been involved in that ticket since the dark ages. There's a philosophical disconnect between how (some) people want to use Docker and how the maintainers want it to be used, and it comes to a head in that thread.

I saw your articulate response in that thread. Thank you for that response. I don't need multiple dockerfiles right now, but if i invest more into docker, I will. I think your responses might have convinced shykes that the need won't be going away. There was a similar disconnect on data volumes a while ago that took some convincing before the discussion moved forward. It has always been trivial in OpenVZ to bind mount into a container (ie: share a very large read-only mount between containers).

For anyone else trying to follow along (and still evaluating docker at a distance), start with this comment in that thread: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/2112#issuecomment-39763037 https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/2112#issuecomment-39... It gets quite interesting, and it's still going 14 months later...
