Yeah I agree docker is just a wrapper but that one element does actually make a
world of difference.
I think docker should continue with a higher level of abstraction to make
containers like vapour in a cloud.
My opinion is that something like the below is a really essential part of the
jigsaw for LXC and some of the other parts of Docker I don't really want.

Dunno if anybody has had any dealings with oxwall.org and I apologise but I
believe in unstructured peer review meritocracies for the purpose of social
collaboration.
One day I will think of a snappier name :) but oxwall.org would be a good base
to do something like that.
Its missing a googlesque voting mechanism on contribution, but one day ;)
I do think an LXC-Planet would be good for a collection of idea's submissions
of poly-distro acceptance.

Subject: Re: [Lxc-users] Docker
Actually, docker and LXC are two difference projects maintained by two
different groups of people. So it has not "moved" to docker.
I have studied docker source code, and there is nothing they do you can't do
using LXC and basic bash commands (except for their repository). You can think
about docker as a wrapper of LXC serving the purpose of process isolation for
the cloud computing world.
Both LXC and docker have different end goals so it's hard to compare them. One
thing: docker doesn't use template explicitly but images pulled by docker are
basically images created by a LXC template. So docker replaced lxc-create (that
generate an OS) by docker pull (that go get an OS over the network)
