While it's great that you ship with secure defaults, to me, if you're going to restrict it to access from the host only, that just makes it more pointless to run sshd in the containers vs. the alternatives presented in the article.

Like I already said, there is an ongoing discussion about replacing SSH with nsenter now that nsenter is a viable alternative: https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker/issues/102

SSH was purely chosen because until recently there wasn't a better alternative. lxc-attach stopped working out of the box since Docker 0.9. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7951042
