Boost - Dev mailing list wrote
The intention of this is to simplify managing a docker build environment for boost [...] This partially came out of the discussion we had a number of months back about how we handle third party dependencies. For the most part one has to look at README files in various locations to learn about them. This is an attempt to pull all the dependencies together for a complete build into one place (the Dockerfile).
James, TBH, to me, this gives quite a little idea what is the actual purpose and target audience of the docker images. Is it for Boost users, to provide them with Boost itself? Is it for Boost contributors, to provide them with development and testing environment? What do you mean by "all the dependencies", Boost itself or deps required by Boost?
