Competition is benefitting users and producing some relative waste of resources on each company. We are benefitting because at the end of the day the container world will be more open.

But I think that this VC-backed model might not be beneficial for OS as a business in the mid-long term. The race to $0 is greatly accelerated.

Do you think that the VC-backed model is good for open-source as an ecosystem, even if not a business? Because, watching the growth of Docker and CoreOS, I'm starting to wonder if it isn't just a tire fire for us at every level.

Might send Open Source back to how it was pre-Red Hat. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.
