My understanding is that Docker only stays reproducible if after every change you kill the container and start a new one. Otherwise a particular change may only be working because of a side-effect of a change you introduced earlier and then deleted.

This isn't a huge issue, but still it's nice in declarative systems like Stack and NixOS not to have to worry about that kind of thing.
