Actually, I'm going to say: thus the need for Cloud Foundry.
I work for Pivotal Labs and I'm secondment to the CF Buildpacks team, so I'm biased. And this shouldn't be construed as official opinion, it's just mine.
Cloud Foundry is led by Pivotal, but we run it openly. Anyone can follow our repos[1][2] and our Tracker projects. The entire platform is being signed over into an independent Foundation with more than 30 paid members[3] (including Docker Inc). The whole project is being written the Pivotal Labs way. Everything is TDD, everything is pair programmed.
If I had to bet a company on a platform, I'd bet it on us. We're building the first and only truly independent, truly open source, truly open core, truly multi-company PaaS that is available.
You can buy support and hosting from us, IBM, HP and a series of mid-tier providers right now. You can do it in the public cloud or in a disconnected datacentre.
Oh, and we're going to have baked-in Docker support with our next-gen executor (Diego), in addition to Warden system we developed before Docker was released.
