Looks like the new ceo has a track record of selling open source companies. It's likely docker would be up for sale in one or two years time.

Bearden was CEO of Hortonworks since 2012, almost 7 years before the Cloudera acquisition. Before that, Springsource for 4.

I don't know Singh's reasons behind getting out, but Bearden doesn't seem to play the short game often, he's more of a long-term Open Source strategist.

It says something when we consider 4-7 years to be the "long term".
