Does docker's newer --init flag not fully replace dumb-init's use? Or is dumb-init now just so you don't need to remember to --init whenever you use the container? I find it really weird that --init is a run-time option rather than something specified in the Dockerfile and baked into the image.

Some container engines don't support the --init flag, such as Amazon ECS[0], so there is still a place for dumb-init and tini for the time being.
