For anyone not willing to take the time to visit the Docker 0.9 release blog post, here's a snippet from it:

"Thanks to libcontainer, Docker out of the box can now manipulate namespaces, control groups, capabilities, apparmor profiles, network interfaces and firewalling rules – all in a consistent and predictable way, and without depending on LXC or any other userland package. This drastically reduces the number of moving parts, and insulates Docker from the side-effects introduced across versions and distributions of LXC."

Is that more clear?

TYL,
