Not sure what the policies of Fedora and Centos to have multiple
versions of basically the same executable installed on the system at
once.
The Fedora policy is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Multiple_packages_with_the_same_base_name

tl;dr is that it's okay, but it's deone through the hack of putting the
version in the package name. This works fine when it's infrequent, but
is a pain otherwise, especially since each new version needs to go
through package review separately, gets its own repo in dist-git, and a
whole bunch of other overhead.

We have "some reasonable way of dealing with different package
versions" on the deliverables from
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives/Fedora_Modularization,_Prototype_Phase,
so possibly we'll have a better answer soon, but that's where we are
now.

Ok so for now, lets package the docker-runc and docker-containerd in the docker package and use them under
/usr/libexec/docker.  Lets not package containerd until someone figures a use case of it outside of docker in parallel
with docker.  We will continue to ship runc outside of docker at its own independent package.

Ack, I still have to figure out if docker works correctly having docker-containerd, docker-runc and the others under /usr/libexec/docker (because I think it's not in $PATH)
Otherwise we could patch upstream docker also to not hardcode binaries strings and paths

Yes I think we should handle it the same way they handled dockerinit, where we have a choice of where to install it.
