It's a homegrown container, first based on Fortress and then on Tweety
when there were some glitches in Fortress with the move from Composable
to Serviceable. These were fixed but I just stuck with the tweety
variant as I'm really playing with components and trying to figure out
exactly how I want the overall thing to work. I hope to dump it and use
whatever you guys decide is the standard container. I have no desire to
write a full-blown container.
