Containers does makes things very easy but I am not sure how much
comfortable people are with containers running in production for long
periods of time, unattended. Dockers seems to be still tinkering with the
public facing APIs and breaking compatibilities across versions of clients
and server (which itself is another issue due to security).  Other
solutions like rkt and others are still not very mature and would mean a
lot of deployment errors and bugs. However, we can have them as an *option*
for deployments along with os specific packages.

I'd be willing to help with build automation and maintain containers for
all the sub projects. Although, I won't be able to spare a lot of time in
next 15 days as I have a paper deadline coming in very soon.
