It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. RedHat is pretty invested in Docker right now via OpenShift so they have a lot incentive to backport required kernel fixes to Centos/RHEL 7 but at some point they'll likely have to drop support for the latest and greatest Docker release.

What makes you think they aren't just stabilizing/standardizing a single version of docker and backporting fixes?

After all, about 1/2 the gripes stemmed from the fact they docker itself is basically the engineering branch minus any serious regression/etc testing. Of course things are going to break from release to release, that is why test departments exist.
