[ale] Behind on your "Container Skills"

[Beddingfield, Allen]

Questions:
    a) Containers or not? (Not)
    b) If yes, production or not? (Not)
    

I've tried to find a way that containers fit into what we do, and it just ends up being a solution looking for a problem to solve. I could see where it would work for some, but we just don't have a use case for it outside of just "hey, this is interesting stuff" tinkering.

    Certainly a few people here are using containers. There are over 1100+
    other members, lurking.
