> Nice, no features anymore for CE

What do you mean by that? Docker CE will continue to ship features in exactly the same way as before. If anything the new monthly edge releases will allow us to ship features faster. A common complaint from enterprise customers was that they were tied to the same release trains as the community version. Now that the CE and EE releases are clearly distinct, CE has more flexibility to move fast.

Not sure about this, generally I have the feeling that Docker doesn't really care anymore about making a great open source container engine. They've never listened to the people who pointed out flaws in Docker which then made these guys start working on rkt. I've had a ton of issues with Docker and IPTables, Multi Host Networking, IPv6 etc. - there were solutions available most of the time but it always takes ages for them to merge it in (5+ months in some cases) or even care about basic issues such as not being able to run IPTables with docker because it bypasses IPTables en total. Adding a EE will definitely not make things better, in my opinion even worse. I think most "new" features will be put into EE so that they can bait enterprises into buying it. But maybe I am mistaken, we'll see. Like I said, not sure about it.
That's how it always starts. EE gets introduced, Company assures everyone they will have the same features then CE goes down the hill in time. I want to believe you though.
What's hilarious is that Docker is frequently criticized for "moving too fast" and "adding too many features". Now it seems we're going to be suspected of not adding enough features... Which is it?
We'll see about that
