You've got your conclusions backwards. Docker is the one that's trying to do things the simple way. Rocket embraces the Unix process model and philosophy. They don't have to solve this particular security problem because it's been solved over almost 40 years of Unix evolution.

The Docker simplicity is why they've had so much success. That's how it started: as a tool to make using LXC simpler.

Do you feel Machine, Swarm and Compose add to or detract from the value proposition of Docker, in that case?

Just to ensure I'm understanding your point about Rocket benefiting from 40 years of Unix evolution correctly: do you think that Rocket will be able to remain simple as a result of this? And that Docker perhaps will not, even though up until this point it's been "trying to do things the simple way?"
