I'm guessing because Docker didn't participate in App Container, so this is a compromise to bring Docker on board.

- shykes 11y agoTo clarify, the Open Container Project was started by Docker with the help of the Linux Foundation. Then other vendors were invited (including AppC maintainers). We did this because there was a clear demand for transforming a de-facto standard (the Docker format) into a proper standard (OCF), and for opening the governance of our runC implementation. Since AppC is a completely different format from what Docker uses, starting from that would have defeated the purpose. However it made a lot of sense to invite the people behind AppC to join, so that we could all build a better spec and implementation together, instead of arguing on technical details that don't matter.
