I didn't say packaging is bad.

I said expecting desktop users to install docker to run a 35 line python script is fucking crazy.

You think someone who can't install python and 3 pip modules, is going to manage to install a Hypervisor, a Linux Guest, and Docker?

Maybe. We taught our support people how to install Docker via Docker Machine, and while that is resource-intensive and sometimes they come with questions, it did reduce the complexity of deploying new internal tools to them.
