This isn't a product that's "ready for production"; it's a product company declaring that it is.

This means what it's always meant: that the company believes the sum they'll make by convincing people it's "production ready" is greater than the sum they'll lose from people realizing it isn't.

Keep in mind the optimal state of affairs for Docker Inc. is one where everyone is using Docker and everyone requires an enterprise contract to have it work.

So misinformed. Docker for mac and docker for windows are not targeting production. They are designed for local dev envs
So why call it "production ready"?
I agree that it is confusing. Production ready in the sense that it is stable for the targeted use-case: local development environments. Not for "production". Damn now i'm confused...
GA would probably be a more appropriate description.
Well, it was beta before.
