<opinion>
IMO, removing the docker containers is a mistake v.s. fixing them and using
them properly. They provide an isolation that is necessary (and that we
mangle) to make services portable and scaleable. We really should sit down
and document how we really want all of the services to interact before we
rip the containers out.
I agree, the way we use containers now still is quite wrong, and brings us
some negative value, but I'm not sold on stripping them out now just
because they no longer bring the same upgrades value as before.
</opinion>
My opinion aside, we are rushing into this far to late in the feature
cycle. Prior to moving forward with this, we need a good QA plan, the spec
is quite light on that and must receive review and approval from QA. This
needs to include an actual testing plan.
>From the implementation side, we are pushing up against the FF deadline. We
need to document what our time objectives are for this and when we will no
longer consider this for 8.0.
Lastly, for those that are +1 on the thread here, please review and comment
on the spec, It's received almost no attention for something with such a
large impact.
