Why is this a terrible idea?

You mention in the readme that this is a terrible idea.

For production sites, I understand it's a security issue,
but is there any other issues that I've overlooked?

Let's say for local development with many containers.

This is so wrong on so many levels:

1. Using libpurple and pidgin (they are basically dead).
2. Written in go and cgo (which may turn a full support of libpurple a nightmare).
3. Has a chance for a full support of management features (creating/removing/etc containers).
4. WHHHYYYYYEEEEEE

That's why I like it!
