If you don't like Docker, the containers are also compatible with RKT, which some consider technically superior in certain respects, though it certainly isn't as well marketed as Docker.

Anyhow, we do plan on sticking with Debian and if necessary extending it to fit the use cases we're trying to solve rather than seeking a new starting point. Debian has the largest community of any Linux distribution and the network effects are powerful enough that I don't see how a temporary technical advantage by another distribution could possibly offset that.
