You're arguing one edge of a very much double-edged sword, and I must say (as someone that was deploying the linux-vserver patches by at least 2004) it's incredibly tiring to watch.

Yes there is definitely a way to praise alternatives without railing against the current discussion topic.

Some may appreciate being made aware of another technology; unfortunately this specific example reinforces the importance of marketing and pursuing mindshare.

No less tiring than reading about re-inventing virtualization in Linux. For both of us the fix is the same: either don’t read it or remark how tiresome it is.

Where we both agree is that it’s tiresome, but for very different reasons.
