Yes, while I agree that Benjamin's proposal sounds sensible, I indeed
would like to move the sandbox abstraction into BuildBox such that this
abstraction can be used for both local builds and remote execution,
avoiding code duplication.

This will not happen in time for BuildStream 1.4 but my goal is to have
BuildBox as the only `Sandbox` backend in BuildStream 1.6 (besides
remote execution, of course).

Also see the BuildBox architecture proposal¹ and the issue 719².
