Docker is great technology and this shouldn't be a surprise I hope but there are "other" container technologies than Docker!
In the article the question was asked:
"What do you think of the state of containerization? "
The only discussion again was Docker? What about all the great work being done on LXC (www.linuxcontainers.org).
Full OS system containers for CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc. Privileged & Unprivileged containers, Nested containers, See Stephane Graber's 10 part post on LXC 1.0 release in 2013 for basics (https://www.stgraber.org/2013/12/20/lxc-1-0-blog-post-series/).
What about including how LXD is extending LXC via its JSON api to enable simple orchestration & management of both local & remote LXC containers ? There is now an LXD plugin for OpenStack Neutron.
Some readers new to Linux & containers might be led to believe Docker is all there is given every container article seems to single it out for discussion.

You can now install & run all of OpenStack in LXC containers (http://openstack.astokes.org/guides/single-install)
