Wait: There is a plausible alternative motivation for Docker...

From what I hear, Ubuntu is switching to this whole new, "in the cloud"
type of packaging and other stuff. The move from Ubuntu could have been
to avoid that cloud crap.

But of course, Docker could have chosen Redhat, or OpenSuSE, or Debian,
and apparently they didn't. Hmmmmm.

I gotta snicker. On my local LUG's mailing list, a WAD (Walking Acronym
Dispenser) posted all sorts of anti-anti-systemd stuff about how
necessary systemd is in this age of containers. And now the leading
container vendor moves to an OpenRC initted distro. So much for
systemd's necessity in the age of containers.
