> Using Docker as a mechanism to implement the CANCEL request is like using
> an RPG to kill a fly. It is possible to implement the CANCEL request with
> Multiprocessing, just needs implementation. We are then left with the PAUSE
> request, which can not be solved directly with Multiprocessing, but still I
> would like to try it with a Pythonic approach first.

> That said, Docker can be very useful in other tasks. Last year Benjamin

> backends. And Jachym is always reminding us of security issues - each
> execution must be sandboxed, isolated from the host system. In essence, it
> looks like an interesting development, but as Carsten writes, it will be
> better as an extension - lets not scare away entry levels users.
