I have been concerned that Docker's scope was expanding too far for a while now, so I'm glad to see an alternative that might work appear on the horizon. That said, I am somewhat concerned that CoreOS has a suspiciously similar business model to where Docker would probably like to be.
It's in a business's best interest, and exceedingly common practice, to "land and expand" with something clear and compelling, and following that add features to compete with alternative solutions. I don't think there's anything inherently altruistic about CoreOS that would keep Rocket lean in the long-run, especially as they begin migrating their various tools away from Docker containers.
