Alternative perspective: you kids with your Docker builds need to roll up your sleeves and learn how to actually compile a semi-complicated project if you expect to be able to contribute back to said project.
If your project is hard to build, that's your problem, not mine. I'll simply spend my time working on projects that respect it.
I can see both perspectives! But honestly, making a project easier to build is almost always a good use of time if you'd like new people to contribute.

Well, that attitude is probably why the issue has been open for 2 years.
