Should we add a brief explanation of the difference between the linuxkit and moby tools? I realize we'll continue to shuffle things around but might be helpful in the intermediate stage

I still am trying to wrap my head around it. Is the short form: moby is a tool for building images, and linuxkit is a tool for pushing and running images? So moby == docker build and linuxkit == docker run / docker push?
And if so... why? What do we gain by having 2 distinct tools?

yes. And the moby tool will be moved and extended to build assemblies other than linux images. This was discussed at length at DockerCon and various meetings after. I'm not sure there is a good writeup yet
moby just does the simple `build` cases, while `linuxkit` does `push` and `run`. Signed-off-by: Justin Cormack <justin.cormack@docker.com>
