Is it a real pain? Why?

One thing I ran into is that cabal sandboxes want consistent dependencies.  And when users get to this point where they need to grab our latest containers, they've got a bunch of core/haskell platform packages that depend on the old containers.

I didn't mean that there was anything difficult about containers itself, just that almost everything else depends on it.
