software installation - Why is docker not in official Ubuntu repos?

I am aware of the more generic version of this question, found here:


Why is some software not in the official Ubuntu repositories?


However, I would like to ask about Docker in particular. It seems to have become quite a significant part of a lot of Linux architecture. I personally have some misgivings about Docker, and wonder if these misgivings are shared by Canonical, that would cause them to not host it on their own repos. I also wonder if the stuff I am hearing about Docker is more marketing than truth, as is often the case.


Is there any word from Canonical? Or perhaps Docker isn't as ubiquitous as I have been told?
