I'm sorry you got that impression. I can assure you that I am not trolling, and my email was an
entirely genuine attempt to engage with the problem that you were trying to describe.
My understanding of the example is that there are two WordPress plugins, which want independent sets
of Composer dependencies. There might be 20 different Composer packages used by each plugin, but
those packages don't need any special relationship with *each other*, they just need a special
relationship with *the WordPress plugin*.
So if we can come up with a solution where only the WordPress plugins need to be changed, and you
can use whatever dependencies you want without waiting for them to be changed to a new way of
working, is that not a good thing?
I've tried several times to explain why I think Linux containers are a good analogy; I'm
not sure if you didn't understand, or just didn't agree, so I don't know what else I
can say.
