definitely not, I think the amount of various apt repositories will rise drastically. >From the container world most people are in the need of a stable base image for their containers. For that, developers also need or want the latest shiniest software - which is something a distribution can't provide. RedHat realized that and is providing their Universal Base Image now, which can be freely shared in container images. I'm wondering if there is something Debian can do to be even more successful in the container world. Like regular releases of a container base image from testing. The amount of packages that needed for that is limited, the number of RC bugs is probably low enough most of the time.
