I just don't see the problem here. Docker is a compiler (docker build), Dockerfiles are source code, and Docker images are binary artifacts. We already have tools that manage this for us: make, cmake, nmake, rake, scons, etc. People need to get over their fear of build tools and use them. This is exactly the kind of problem they solve. Make IS the standard.
