I completely agree. Having played with Docker on CoreOS for some weeks now I see that it will push a much bigger and different change than systemd, which, on my Arch box was just an update with no real problems, I just had to learn some new commands.

Docker though... man how different it is and how clean it makes my system feel. I do feel that Docker will move towards some kind of Docker optimized minimal dockers that are not Debian or Ubuntu or what ever, that is just a stage so you feel some familiarity.

CoreOS meanwhile, who will ever touch its init system except to auto-start containers? Which will be done by nice tool which hides systemd in the future I guess.

Ok, my posts does focus on the server side of course.
