My primary concern is mind-share and "precedent eventually leads to practice".  If all the images and examples presented say :

' FROM: alpine '

We've lost the hearts and minds of developers, and we are no longer a part of the conversation. 

Have we published any comparisons of an Alpine image "fully loaded" (e.g., with the actual tools) vs. Fedora, etc.? AIUI, when you actually install things like Apache httpd, or whatnot the comparison looks much closer.

Not to say we don't need to reduce image size, but perhaps starting from base image size is less like real life than looking at the finished image size as deployed?

Best,
