Perhaps - and most folks do (in principle) just want to put files on a computer and start a process.<p>But context changes and needs have become more sophisticated, particularly needs in isolation, consistency, elasticity.  I think that the capabilities of traditional Unix kernel mechanisms, packaging systems, and userland tools, have lagged behind demand.<p>There&#x27;s still opportunity for these needs to be met with refinements to standard &#x27;nix mechanisms.  I&#x27;d contribute to such a project, if it became the explicit design direction of a major distro.
