Maybe - but from user's perspective it is perfect: Enter a line in
local.conf and let it happen. No manual download/install / container
setup.

Did that to make our very old build server work with zeus images. We
have to keep it old because there are products sitting on VERY old
releases (I think it was daisy). And yes I know that this completely
irresponsible but we are a 'team' of two for the whole stack
(applications inclusive) - but that is another story...
