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.
