Yes, I agree runc is a solid piece of kit. The rkt team is starting to use runc inside as well and hope to enable that in forthcoming releases to stay close to the Open Container Initiative specs as they move to 1.0. You can read more about that on our recent update post[1] or see a demo from a recent meeting[2].

Overall I appreciate all of the discussion on architecture of these systems and nailing this stuff down into the right format. My end goal is to ensure people get a strong reliable system, the exact technologies and projects used to get there is less important.
