I remember that Jessie did a talk where she said that something like 4/5 contributions to Docker are from people who don't work for Docker Inc. I was one of them (I spend most of my time contributing to runC now because there's less politics there). So your point is categorically invalid.

Docker Inc does not operate Docker like a community project. Maintainers are elected behind closed doors, most of the maintainers work for Docker Inc, Docker Inc has a roadmap that the community does not have access to, maintainers of Docker will not merge code if it is not strictly inline with Docker Inc's roadmap, they openly attack distributions like RedHat and openSUSE for applying out-of-tree patches to Docker.
> No doubt the guys working on Docker are super smart guys
The community is also fairly clever too, especially considering that we outnumber the number of people working for Docker Inc.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This here is the truly sad state of Docker. Glad to see someone else in this thread sick of closed door governance bullshit and flat out bullying.
