Watch out, next we'll be seeing CoreOS writing their own encryption protocols. As someone that's designed and built storage clusters from the ground up - take it from me: storage is not as easy as it seems if you care about your data and performance at scale. The number of people I've seen using CoreOS and then moving away from it is quite alarming, I feel like CoreOS will become the Ubuntu of the container world.

They're all-in on Kubernetes, which is quite apparent given (a) who's funding them and (b) product direction, including this one. They don't have the resources or backing to go after Docker; notice that changed? Docker has something like 15x the funding and is pulling away in a lot of ways, so CoreOS hitched on the Kubernetes wagon.
Better bet for destiny: Google is letting them build stuff off the books by just funding them, and at some point they'll get quietly bought with all their stuff added to Kubernetes, and that'll be that.
