Yeah, still true, but we are actively working on an alternate implementation to be compatible with anything post 3.2 and RHEL 6.4 as well.

  Just to confirm that we're planning to remove the dependency on aufs for the 0.7 release (late September). As a result docker will run on vanilla linux kernels. aufs will probably come back as a plugin in a future version. aufs is great and I wish we could keep it as the default. But the kernel politics are what they are.

    Oh interesting. What are you moving to? Are you hooking into 'libc' to be able to intercept file accesse for layers or something?

      We're moving to device-mapper, which is the underlying block-level facility used by LVM.

  post 6.4 means > or >=? Will it run on my ec2 rhel 6.4 out-of-the-box?
