The long-term goal is to switch users to use podman (and buildah I guess), with cri-o being a daemon that uses the same underlying code. The only reason a daemon is required in the first place is because the CRI uses gRPC. This is loosely similar to how rkt operated, with rktnetes just being a front-end for rkt (though at the time, the CRI didn't exist so it was all hardcoded in Kubernetes). The goal isn't to have a differently-named daemon required in order to do any operation, and podman enables that (though again, so did rkt).
