I also was hoping for this BUT the security issues with a container system (runs in root and not user space) makes me think there is a better solution. There are a few Linux package management systems that use a folder to install all the libraries inside a application's folder. This would also run in user space and not within root space like containers need to run.
It just seems like container like system would fix so many issues with Desktop Linux if it ran on metal. I also like the idea of a Git type system that installed everything to a folder.
