? not sure what shykes is implying here.

> 3-day old unfinished spec

Actually it's been in the git repo for 13 days, been public for 8 days, and has been getting developed since January 2014 (Docker is not even twice as old).

> no working implementation

Actually, Rocket is the implementation, ACI is the spec.

> a controversial background

How so? Because Docker disagrees with it so it's controversial?

> sponsored by a small venture-backed company

I think shykes is forgetting Docker just raised an excess of $40 million on a $400 million evaluation.

> with questionable motives

Again not sure what shykes implies here... Docker is a for-profit commercial vendor just the same.

The language and inaccuracies in shykes comment on github are shocking to say the least. Seems rather uni-directional "mud slinging", as shykes has previously put it[1]...

Well, all of that is just the public view (and was pretty knee-jerk at that). Who knows what either company really thinks of the other... CoreOS was just smart enough not to engage publicly.
