CoreOS breaks with Docker

The title of this article is as misleading as it gets (and for that reason, I've flagged this HN post). While CoreOS is developing a competing solution, they cannot just "break with Docker" since that is what most of their customers probably use now. In fact, CoreOS announced support for Docker 1.3.2 2 days ago, despite them launching Rocket:

I think Rocket is just one attempt not to become useless now that Docker's scope is expanding. There was an interesting post about the predictability of CoreOS's move a few days ago on HN:

I thought that one should not change the title and use the original one of the post. What would have been a better title? "ZDNets view on Docker vs. CoreOS"?

I'm not sure about that what the best title would have been. But the guidelines say:

"Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait."

I think in this case, zdnet's title is misleading, so changing it would probably have been a good thing.

Ok, understood. Thanks.
