There are two sides of the issue. I still have concerns regarding Red Hat's product inclusion due to building everything from source and etc. thus not putting our resources towards XText based editor. On the other side this is not an issue for the Linux Tools project in general and I really think that the greater benefit for the bigger community will be really huge if there is single and well maintained Docker integration plugin instead of two having different features and hoping that they will work together.
