What would help, is systemd acquiring a notion of externally-managed services.

According to the article systemd is already capable of that through it's messaging and socket activation protocols. I see no reason you couldn't run systemd inside the container, in fact I believe that's the significant difference in opinion between Docker and Redhat that's driving this article.

Though docker has the marketshare at this point there are alternatives developing that appear to take security and other things a lot more seriously than the docker folks. Time will tell but I believe ultimately Docker is going to lose this war.
