I think that has to do with it being more of a cultural change rather than a code change. I think as long as Podman/Buildah support both filenames by default,it would be the users choice about what to name the files. If they wanted to make their project less visually tied to Docker, they could use Containerfile, or if they wanted to keep things as-is and slowly move things over (or never move things), that's fine too. I think it'll be up to us to promote the use of "Containerfile" as a specification for using this format in a vendor-neutral way. The OCI folks in their IRC channel pointed me to https://buildpacks.io/ as a CNCF project for creating a abstracted universal build standard for OCI images. I think it's a great idea, but I really couldn't see many organizations being able to quickly turn over their container infrastructure to use buildpacks as opposed to the Dockerfile-type format.

I like the thought of changing Dockerfile to another name. My one concern is trying to figure out how much of a pain point it would be for people with existing Dockerfiles to rename them. Yeah, they could use '--file Dockerfile' to make it work, but that might be painful too if they've a bunch of scripts buried away without that option already specified.

But perhaps I'm being over concerned.

My gut instinct is that "imagefile" has a connotation with media-type image file formats. Might be confusing especially for non-technical users when talking about container concepts. Open to it, if others disagree.

would it not more properly be called an "imagefile"?
