yes.  not interested [and don't have time to find out what the hell is
going on].  not after the complete failure of exactly such a "layer"
setup involving google auth, kubernetes and couchdb 2.3.1 *stable*
docker release resulted in a 1.2 GB download.

i don't trust it, have never liked it, it's badly written, insecure,
and just because everyone in the world thinks it's the best thing ever
doesn't actually make that true - not to someone who's done pretty
much every major type of virtual container for linux that's existed
since 1995. (i manage a 15-year-old server that went through *three*
live conversions: XEN, to KVM, to LXC where it is, now).
