What I find most appaling about this, is that Phusion invented their own problem (PID1 reaping) that doesn't even exist in reality - and they keep banging that drum to create as much FUD as possible around something that is completely wrong and against the actual intent of Docker (the company, the community, the tool, the best practice, the ecosystem).

I've been doing stuff with Docker for a while and I have run in to issues here and there, but never the PID reaping problem. In fact, I actually strive now to make the application PID 1 and only run 1 process. This is specifically so that the container will exit and the host or other scheduling logic can deal with the event.
