I am all in favor of running runC (or rkt) instead of docker everywhere,
including for early priv containers, but my main request for comments
was whether you people think that approach is reasonable.

I.e. do we want to run some fundamental software (also flanneld, as done
by core os) in a container, so it can be installed on demand?

If so, we will need something like early docker before runC is ready.
