Can somebody involved with this illustrate > why that is the case, and what's the rationale here? historically I wanted to speed up the -gerrit builds so this is where I started experimenting with containers and ended with docker. For the main * build it was a question does build time matter more than multi-platform builds.

Right a single container is used as the goal was to be able to run VTY tests in parallel without messing with the configs (pick ports at random or such). I think multi-distribution support should be carefully considered as this will have an explosion in builds. It might only make sense if we compile with -Werror as well? I can't comment if osmo-msc-gerrit is using a different container than other builds. holger
