Docker images can be quickly really big. Can Berlin support such traffic?

At FOSDEM19, in the session "world domination", we discussed a service
where the user provides a manifest.scm file or click to select various
packages (and optionally a channels.scm file) and then the service
returns the Docker image ready to be pulled (or docker run URL).
Well, this killer-feature "service" seems a far objective. :-)
Proposing a Docker image ready-to-use containing the package manager
could be nice and a first step in that direction, IMHO.
The same way <http://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/>, maybe adding a
Docker (or Singularity) image would be nice to have.

Guix containers tiny? It depends on what you pack. :-)
(For example, only Emacs is not tiny.)
All the best,
simon
