Docker

[Donald Lohr]

I'm asking why because before today I was not aware of this technology.

Back before 07/2001 I did not know about the LDAP technology, but am the 
resident LDAP expert at my school.  Additionally back before 10/2012 I 
also did not know about Shibboleth/SAML (and still have much to learn).

So to say "If you have to ask (why) I don't think it's for you" is not 
at all helpful, especially since you are unaware of our underlying goals 
for asking the question.

Thanks,
Don
