> I find this to be an interesting position to take, considering that a core component of docker has been historically re-written with every other release: registry in 1.6, disk plugins in 1.7, networking in 1.9, runc in 1.11. To be fair, runC was its own project for quite some time. Docker just switched from importing the runC code to actually running the binaries through containerd as a proxy in 1.11 (a design decision I'm still trying to wrap my brain around, but that's a separate issue).
