You can go ahead and explain what you think base image means then, because it's not obvious to me how this is different than that (and I'm a domain expert.)

A base image is an image that you're meant to build off of, it is not meant to be deployed as an application but as a base for your image. What part of what I said was disingenuous? I gave a link to some source code that I didn't write and provided a counter example, identifying myself as a contributor. What did you contribute?

Great misunderstanding of what I said, this is two in a row when considering the above, bravo.

What is wrong with your first comment is:

1. zenlikethat's comment obviously talks about base images in general, not about a specific base image ("...most base images...")

2. Your reply which disagrees with that is based on a very basic fallacy (there is a one base image which contains ssl so zenlikethat's claim is false!?)

3. Your example is a base image which you're a maintainer of

Considering (1) is obvious and (2) is a very basic fallacy nobody here should fall for, your comment seems like an intentional and unwarranted plug for "phusion/baseimage" instead of a valid and honest disagreement to zenlikethat's comment. (extra points for unwarranted plug of your domain expertise in immediate parent comment)

I'm supposed to provide examples that I am unfamiliar with?

Forgive me for misunderstanding your comment, but `"base image" != "baseimage"` did not have a great deal of substance to it, nor did it provide me with any insight about the topic.

I provided an example, to facilitate the discussion. So back to my last question, what did you contribute?
