Awesome, i look forward to that. I think that could be a major differentiator for sprites. I wish i could work on that problem at fly.io scale.

What is the contract with sprites? Is it just built-with-linux but not promising Linux? Or is it more like a machine but y'all control the container image?

There's no "formal" contract in either place but people running on Fly Machines expect that there's nothing at all between them and the kernel, and we don't have that expectation in Sprites; we can do whatever we want. :)

I don't want to get too far into the rest of the details only because I'm writing this up for next week. They're not that interesting technically, but they're a really big deal for us in other ways.
