> CoreOS remains committed to the rkt project and will continue to invest in its development. Today rkt is a leading implementation of appc, and we plan on it becoming a leading implementation of OCP. Open standards only work if there are multiple implementations of the specification, and we will develop rkt into a leading container runtime around the new shared container format. Our goals for rkt are unchanged: a focus on security and composability for the most demanding production environments.
