I'd prefer limiting the number of parallelly supported versions, too.
I guess the answer depends on whether the next docker version is fully
backwards compatible with existing installs. I. e. if we update
docker-current from 1.4 to 1.5, does that break existing installs? If
so, then this isn't feasible and we need to start a new series. But if
it is compatible I see little reason for keeping the old 1.4 then?

Either way, this is a significant increase in 14.04 maintenance work.
Who is going to commit to that?

Thanks,

Martin
