Maybe going a bit off tangent here but really let's all agree that Dockerfile.s are just not good enough for building any kind of software through time. There's no lockfile system and caching is just awkward to work with.

Dockerfile.s must be progressively replaced with Nix recipes then we'd get lockfiles, upgradable dependencies, some day even reproducible builds!



Project Nix recipes into Dockerfiles, use the nix hash in the dockerfile name.
