I think this distinction is important for people to internalize. Docker heard the userbase that there needed to be a distinction between the "bottom half" and the "top half" of the Docker stack. Giving away the Docker name to the bottom half would have been dumb (IMO), so extracting it as containerd makes sense. Will that confound some people? Sure, but they will get over it. I think it was the right thing to do, but then I am known to be a big fan of layered systems. :)
