First of all, it's important to note that w3af won't be
exclusively deployed/released via docker, users will still be able to
download and install it in their operating systems.
Now that's clear, lets analyze why docker :) First of all, docker
is easy to use by defining a Dockerfile [0] and it provides a public
registry [1] where we can automatically build docker images on each
push to our repository. Also, docker has received a lot of attention
lately and some users do already know how to use it, etc. this is
different from lxc which is great but not as popular.
There is also a pull request for w3af / vagrant, which will be
merged after I test it. This means that I'm not picking one solution
and sticking with it, we're mostly experimenting with the most popular
ones and maybe in a year decide which one is the best for w3af.
If you would like to help with the docker and/or vagrant stuff,
we're more than glad to see pull-requests :)
