You could already do these things outside of dockerland via the host-integration stuff (ie, systemd to handle restarts/monitoring).

1.0 was/is about API stability, engine stability, full ecosystem with Docker Hub, and enterprise support.

Yea, i really thought that this stuff should be out of dockerland. Not that i dislike the feature, just that it seems to overlap with established tools that excel at doing one thing well.

FWIW, now that docker is handling the restart/monitoring it can actually do it better than if systemd is doing it, since docker knows that it doesn't have to tear down and re-create the network namespace, unmount/remount the container's FS, etc.

So when a container is restarted via the restart policy, it not only happens faster, it will get the same IP as well.

Not for me. Just tested it.
