Sure.

This is just a big "fuck you" to non company supported open source projects, as it turns out even ones labelled "sponsored css" on Docker Inc's own website.

Which are all clearly insignificant and unimportant, dumb little command line utilities and libraries like, say, curl...

Hi, ah... perhaps I'm an idiot for asking, but why does a near-ubiquitous system utility like curl need to be installed via a container? Is it not available on something like Alpine... and if so, then maybe it should be?

It's like saying I have to install `vi` via Docker... please don't tell me vim has a Docker hub repo too...
