Still we'd be far worse off without well-maintained GCC, libc, binutils
et al. We gotta be fair, I think.

Still, it's free software. We gotta acknowledge that, and work on
keeping the alternatives viable we deem better. And we can make use
of selected bits & pieces from those solutions... we have the permission,
after all.

You see, docker et al are targeted mainly at big corps: lots of machinery,
save on capable sysadmins. IMHO it is a mixed blessing (even for them),
because they end up integrating "whatever docker image lies around on
my cloud provider's attic" into their core infrastructure, but hey: I'm
not particularly sad when they fall flat on their faces for that.

In a nutshell: IMHO critical, yes. Unfair, no.
