The container runtime is a basic building block. If it moves too fast (and in broken ways), stuff on top of it breaks. If Intel processors came with a completely new instruction set in every generation, it'd be hell.

I don't think people are suggesting that Docker Inc. should be boring. The criticism is more targeted towards Docker Engine, the container runtime.

Personally I think the entire container space moves too quickly to be a good target for stable long lived services. Pretty much every element is under fast development.

Stability is more the attribute of more mature services like Virtual machines, which have been around as a heavily used technology for quite a long time now...
