The status quo (prior to containers) is that Postfix prevents
unnecessary requests for support from people who do things like
sharing a queue_directory or data_directory.
The Postfix master relies on opening a 'lock' file below the queue
and data directories, and holding an exclusive lock until the process
terminates. If that works across container boundaries, then that
is one less thing to worry about. But all this is speculation until
it is proven to work.
