The very strict FSF interpretation is a useful extreme -- much like
the North Pole is for the idea of north, and absolute zero is for the
idea of cold. Now north is useful n our compasses, and cold is great
for beer (free or not), but few of us would want to spend our entire
lives at absolute zero or the north pole.

There's software I would definitely prefer to run in a container.
There's software I would definitely like to run out of container.
It would be nice to have a choice. That is what android does not
