This came out of various discussions; see https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/pull-request/74 and in particular: https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/pull-request/74#comment-47627
The high level goal here is to make Workstation more container oriented by default, reducing the delta from Atomic.
In particular I'd like to flesh out the "pet/dev container" pattern discussed in various places and encourage people to do that rather than installing things in their root filesystem by default. It's a tremendous change - it was painful for me at first. But there are a lot of compelling advantages.
By having e.g. `podman` (and `docker` for people used to that) installed by default we take a step towards encouraging that by default.
Why include more than one? If it's a new technology to Workstation I think we should choose one and document it well. The problem with having two options is you need to document both and that just gets confusing for the consumer because docs end up with "Do it like X unless you're using Y when do it like"
