containerkit should expose primitives to solve problems instead of higher level abstractions.
containerkit should expose primitives to solve problems instead of building high level abstractions.
A common example of this is how build is implemented.
Instead of having a build API in containerkit we should expose the lower level primitives that allow things like build to work.
Breaking up the filesystem APIs to allow snapshots, copy functionality, and mounts allow people implementing build at the higher levels more flexibility.

containerkit is scoped to a single host.
It can be used to builds things like a node agent that launches containers but does not have any concepts of a distributed system.
Also things like service discovery are out of scope even though networking is in scope.
containerkit should provide the primitives to create, add, remove, or manage network interfaces for a container but ip allocation, discovery, and DNS should be handled at higher layers.
