If they were to plan this over a longer period of time for all distributions CE is available for I wouldn't have said anything. However they are specifically leaving out the platform most people are using docker on. And not only that - they _are_ providing k8s support with EE on linux. That pretty much deliberately points towards 'buy docker ee if you want this specific feature'.

Tbh, I wouldn't even have said anything if they were making that an EE-only feature. Thing is - they want to make money with that move and they're not honest about it. And in the process they're throwing the larger demograph using docker on the bleeding edge side of things in the mud. The people who are trying the new features on their own servers in their own time.

Yes, well - that is what happens when a company decides to use bleeding-edge hipster software. With puppet one minor version may not work with the server whos a few minors behind, with ELK in pre-5 versions the cluster may have gone keel over if the migration of the version hadn't been planned meticularly, with consul you may get better performance (dc-local speaking) than with etcd on one release and way worse the next.

Crying to the devs not to produce good software so quickly shouldn't be the solution.
