Does it make sense to configure it through alternatives?

alternative changes the target via symlinks in /usr/bin - this is a readonly FS for rpm-ostree based builds.

For normal RPM installs, alternatives is an option.

Ok, makes sense.

I'm +1 to having the ability to test out newer Docker versions. How would they ship - in 1 RPM, or multiple?

The SCL model/tools become more useful when dynamic linking is in play, but currently
in our usage of golang there aren't any beyond a few system ones.  So I think it would
work to just have e.g.
/usr/libexec/docker-1.10
/usr/libexec/docker-1.9

And choose via a config file in /etc/sysconfig/docker which to run.

(And even if we did introduce dynamic linking, using rpath I think is saner for this case)
