I've been wondering about it. Docker's docker is a single binary. RedHat's docker is a binary plus some dozen shared libraries. I certainly understand why a distro might do that. But.... this is Atomic: everything is a container . It matters. Host services such as docker, systemctl, and a few others find their way to containers via bind mounts. It helps if the bind mounted binary does not try to link against local libraries. Especially if they don't exist, or they do, wrong version.
Is there a chance Atomic might build docker, systemctl, journalctl, etc. as single binaries? Or, at least reduce the number of dependencies.
