The only time to care about it, would be when docker is way behind
docker-latest.  For example docker-1.10 versus docker-latest-1.12.

I would hope with system containers we could start to get away from
docker-latest, It would probably be more effective to ship a system
container that openshift could use in Rawhide and then support that then
continue with docker-latest.  Then we would just ship the current docker
for a run of fedora.  Updating the docker system container as OpenShift
needs change.

The way I see it, docker-1.12 shipped with Fedora 25, we would never
update it except for minor release.  docker-1.12.6 for example.  But if
docker-1.13 ships, then we just package that for Rawhide and make a
rawhide system container available with it.  If users want to run
docker-1.13 they would need to run it in a system container.

This would get us experience in handling of system containers.
