So Linux systems, that started shipping just this year?

Well but even that is not true because it was backport-ed to RHEL 6/CentOS 6 which is very cool.

Not all people live dangerously and install the very latest release on their server.

Ubuntu LTS (which is a common server platform) also doesn't natively support LXC well. It has an older kernel. So instructions for installing docker is to install a new kernel. A new custom compiled kernel on a production system. Hmm, is that still Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, some devops will argue it isn't, some will say it is fine.

Skate where the puck is going. Is it a comprehensive solution today? No. But I would rather see Docker double down on making the project great for those that have bought in than spend their resources building compatibility from people that have not. It's the difference between asking your customers what features they would find most useful and asking people that aren't your customers what features they think you need to build before they buy. The latter set of feedback is almost always useless.

I would rather see that too. So we agree there. If you read my comment, it was about making ridiculous statements about compatibility, not that I want or need more compatibility.

On a more general level it is about being dishonest and how ardent fans are enemies in disguise. They make ridiculous statements about the product that then creator of the product end up having to manage the PR.
