The dockerfile is optimized for “works for the most number of people out of the box”. There was debate over using the ruby v ruby-slim image. Ultimately it was decided to go with the larger image to maximize compatibility.

That said, keep using Alpine! There’s no reason for folks to stop doing what they’re already doing if it’s working for them.

The new dockerfile is meant more for people who are just getting started that aren’t familiar with Docker or Linux.
