I'm on the fence about whether we should create a new category, but |
| 22 |
presumably other things like docker/etc would end up in there as well. |

"Emulation" is a bit of a generic category right now. We don't |
| 25 |
distinguish between actual emulation vs virtualization or |
| 26 |
containerization. I'm not sure if there is value in making that |
| 27 |
distinction, or if we did if even those three categories would be |
| 28 |
sufficient. |
