Split streams makes sense.
* Inside the container (don't do bad things, pretty easy)
* Outside the container (make sure it can't do bad things, harder because
of immutability etc...)

Believe we agree on the legitimacy of the challenge. Would contend
conversation around privileged containers belongs to the container
management platform.
eg in the OpenShift world the ability to run a privileged container is
defined in a Security Context Constraint for the kubernetes pod. For the
OpenShift SCAP content we would evaluate if "allowPrivilegedContainer"
is true/false to organizational policy. Has nothing to do with
configuration attestation of whatever is running /inside/ the container.
From a workflow perspective a compliance operator would scan the
contents of the container image and the configuration of the pod. Behind
the scenes this is likely two separate SCAP data streams but the user
would only see one bundled scan.
