It's unclear to me what this offers that runc or rkt do not offer. They say this :
> railcar always runs an init process separately from the container process
What does that mean in terms of day to day operations/debugging ? What are the benefits ?

1: provide an alternative implementation of the oci-runtime so that the spec doesn't become too locked to a single implementation.
2: provide an implementation in a single language without some of the "baggage" of the existing implentations so that it is easy and fun to hack on.
3: experiment with new ideas to inform the future of the oci-runtime spec.
