 # What consolidating costs, stated here rather than discovered later:
 #   - Everything shares one host, so there is no spreading work across nodes.
 #   - Rollback is all-or-nothing; there is no rolling back `web` alone.
-#   - The ML lane cannot write to the library read-only any more — in the
-#     multi-service stack ml-worker mounts /images:ro, and one container
-#     cannot mount one path two ways.
 #   - One stop timeout for the whole container, sized to the slowest lane.

+# is the same codebase either way.
