Oh dear. It seems that the barrier to posting "official" docker images is way too low. There is also swenson/sage, dieudonne/sage, gissehel/sagemath, xuyouwen/sagemath, and probably many more sagemath docker images over there, some old, some not... Probably the best way for the time being just post the "latest" image with 7.4 to sagemath/sage (previous images would still available via tags, IMHO) so that it is in sync with sagemath/sagemath. > Anyways, the docker containers really should > be preferred over the VM.

AFAIK on Windows you still have VM in the play, so you basically provide something that is meant to work better, right? How about we do some more testing of the sagemath/sagemath image, in particular on Windows and OSX, and then (if we're happy) advertise it on sagemath.org and elsewhere?
