I believe the two (Docker & CoreOS) might have rather similar strategies and / or product roadmaps.
What seemingly gets mixed up by quite a few commentators on this topic:
Docker is an orchestration, deployment, management, etc solution - the "container" is created by LXC, jails, libVirt or other OS features and now also libContainer.
This discussion also shows how far away / how early we are with "containerization" or container that are exchangeable / movable between different (OS) environment - we are discussing the companies that are building cranes to load and unload the boxes before we even have an understanding how the boxes will really look like.
