Re: Stemcells, Garden, and rootfs: how are these related?

For a bit more information on how Windows does containerization (hint: it
doesn't involve a rootfs), you can check out a recent blog post from the
Greenhouse team:

sorry JK - it's still early am (ignore what I just said) - the stack is
the specific rootfs - the container image is a combination of a droplet
plus a stack. The container image will then run in your garden process.
For a windows stack you would need a windows vm/cell to run it.

Thank you, Amit. Is it correct to say that a stack (in the `cf stacks`
sense) is a combination of rootfs + stemcell? If you have a "base VM" of,
say, Linux -- and if that's the one bosh is deploying to all the cells, how
does that become a `windows2012R2` stack in CF?
