You may be right, but from my perspective you&#x27;re falling into the same trap that most IT security people do.  You&#x27;re assuming that the mainstream devs should put security first.<p>They just never will.  Follow the money.  The money is paying for revenue generating activity.<p>Using your example that &quot;zones and SmartOS&quot; are preferable to &quot;SELinux and Linux Containers&quot;....that&#x27;s not going to happen.  The people with the money have already chosen the container direction.<p>A much better strategy would be to give up on what you want, and focus your energy on making the direction that&#x27;s been chosen more secure.<p>I suspect if enough talented, security minded engineers descended as contributors for docker, rkt, etc...the situation would improve much faster than the current direction of just complaining they aren&#x27;t secure.<p>Perfect is the enemy of good.
