Dokku is sort of a proto-Flynn. It has different, more reachable goals because it's intended for a single host. It solves some of the same problems, just in a non-distributed way. Breaking Dokku down into its components starts providing part of the plan for Flynn.

They may even share code in the end, but Dokku will remain focused on simple, single host deployments. Flynn is about a real, distributed system that could be used in production.

Since Flynn is really just a packaged collection of components (similar to Dokku), Dokku may just end up being a single host version of Flynn someday.
