   Hey everyone - here is my take on stronger language that we should IMHO put on the Docker-Compose Quick Start. 
   I've been invovled in a number of issues raised by our users and honestly I think the "premise" of docker-compose that you can "just use it" and modify and you will be good, without really understanding of the "intricacies" of it does much more harm than good - giving the users false expectations on "how easy" it is to get airflow running with docker-compose. 
   
   Yeah. Easy to start, Extremely difficult to diagnose and solve problems if you do not know exactly what you are doing. I think we should be very explicit that if user chooses docker-compose based on our quick start - the moment they touch the file, they are mostly on their own.
   
   I'd love to hear other's thoughts about it, but this is the experience I have with users who think that our "docker-compose" is on our website, means that we will help them to solve their "learn how docker-compose works" problems.
   
   Many times the comments I saw from the users was `But I am using the "official" docker-compose. It shoudl work!". I think this is false expectations and this PR is another attempt to be even clearer about the expectations users should have.
