Kelsey Hightower questions Docker leading OCI standard

I&#x27;m always interested in what Kelsey has to say but Solomon was right when he said that Twitter was the wrong medium for this debate. This is a perfect example of the Twitter-is-fucked story that topped HN the other day. It is impossible to carry on a coherent argument in 140 character sputters. When I read Kelsey&#x27;s questioning the first time, I could not make sense of it...and then realized that Twitter was presenting it in reverse chronological order and I was reading it backwards.<p>I greatly miss mailing lists as a format for discussions like this. The latency involved encouraged the participants to organize their thoughts carefully before sending them to the world.

I remember when Microsoft was on trial for abusing its monopoly, they ran ads with Bill Gates saying they needed to be able to &quot;innovate&quot;—a euphemism for their famous tactic of embrace, extend, and extinguish. Funny to see people using the same language here. I&#x27;m guessing I&#x27;m not the only one who was writing software in the &#x27;90s and still has a bad taste in their mouth from that word.

Scores of companies are listed as members [0] of the OCI.<p>I assume that they all have a say.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.opencontainers.org&#x2F;about&#x2F;members" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.opencontainers.org&#x2F;about&#x2F;members</a>
