That's just pointlessly creating extra work for the developers reading
these build reports. If you outputted the info I suggest, it can help
developers diagnose the problems more quickly. Even if running the
docker env locally is possible & even easy, it doesn't make it faster
than reading the relevant info from email report in front of you.
