It's been a while since I wrote an article about a cool feature that we 
introduced together with Software Collections packaging format, which is 
*the ability to share the environment on multiple machines by NFS 
sharing *[1].

The idea is very simple -- install Software Collections of your favorite 
application stack (say Python 3.6 + NodeJS 8) and mount the /opt/rh on 
workstations. That way you have the same environment on all machines.

Now, I'd like to request some feedback -- is there anybody on the list 
(or outside, but you at least know about it) who uses this feature for 
the Software Collections packages?

Please, let us know! If you can't share it publicly, just drop me a 
direct mail. Of course, more feedback is welcome, but even simple YES 
would be also cool.
