Hmm, rereading that thread now (and talking to Paul about it a bit
more -- thanks for not being on hard VAC Paul ♥), I see that the
reasons for rejecting it upstream aren't as applicable here in Debian,
because we only really care about compatibility with the archive and
use with the archive. If someone compiles their own kernel, then they
get to keep the pieces, generally. I'm working on a patch now to turn
the existing warning ("WARNING: You are running linux kernel version
%s, which might be unstable running docker. Please upgrade your kernel
to 3.8.0.") into a fatal error instead. :)
As a side note, I'll keep the existing upstream undocumented
DOCKER_NOWARN_KERNEL_VERSION environment variable available for
bypassing the hard failure (which is used for RHEL's kernels which
backport all the 3.8+ features Docker needs down to 2.6, insanely
enough).
