Final point. A bit of a parallel/analogue.

The binary compatibility came, and package maintainers rejoiced. Finally, they did not have to make a package for each distribution separately, and could get to actually improving the contents of the packages themselves.

The docker came, and the ops and admins rejoiced. Finally, they are able to build a giant web app, and deploy it anywhere with that tiny container daemon, even on Windows. So they can actually focus on improving their web apps instead of wasting Saturday nights tweaking configurations.

When the stable driver API comes, the driver developers will rejoice.
