So people careless enough to "just container it" for old, possibly security-compromised software - you call that a "non-issue"? How about upgrading and configuring for compatibility?

They're the ones running a 10 years old database on a 11 years old os in a public facing server "because it just works", not me If it was a container, they could just tag a new version when the database went EOL 5 years ago, without being locked on what the package manager was offering Because they used MySQL 5 on CentOS 7 from the package manager and couldn't easily upgrade
