Yes, the problem is that we would need to change the default behavior of Docker, which many people and scripts expect to be stable. It's a case of interface stability vs. functionality improvement. So far interface stability has won. I personnally think it would be better to change the default, but anything that breaks an interface, even a subtle implicit one, has the burden of arguing a solution, thinking through migration issues, submitting patches... So far I have seen a lot of drive-by criticisms and dismissal of the need to even discuss the tradeoff (see for example this lovely fellow: https://lwn.net/Articles/677419/). But I have not seen anyone stepping up to do the work.

We all pick our battles - including me of course!
