Imagine there would be "docker engine for running in production" outside of control of docker inc, with backing from the rest of orchestration industry. It may be considered as a tool for compelling docker inc. to play more nicely, rather than the total fork.

- Developers interested only in the docker engine would consider using it for higher reliability, less breaking and rushed changes or force-bundling of things they don't want.

- If enough developers are using it, docker inc. would be compelled to maintain compatibility to avoid "mainstream" docker ending up as the tool only for dev/CI.
