Thanks a lot for your repply Brent

I definitely support the approach of containers, now, one question,
if the goal is to containerize as much of the flock services as
possible, can we have the list of what services are not going to be on
containers? based on that we can minimize the efforts of packaging for
Ubuntu and maybe help more on the containerization of the flock
services. The more we have in containers the easier is for us to
migrate to other OS ( the packages that might need be ported to other
OS might be: kernel, horizon, and keystone right ? )

So far we have a POC of fm-manager and fm-common [1], what I don't
want is to spend time building debs that will not be useful in the
future.
