Why is back-channel such a bad thing? Even fully virtualized
environments do special things to communicate with the host (the whole
stack of virt drivers). It is sub-optimal and pointless to make
everything completely transparent. There's nothing wrong with the
basesystem knowing that they're inside a container or a virtualized
environment, so I don't understand why a back-channel is such a big
problem.
Thanks.
