For anyone not willing to take the time to visit the Docker 0.9 release blog 
post, here's a snippet from it:

"Thanks to libcontainer, Docker out of the box can now manipulate namespaces, 
control groups, capabilities, apparmor profiles, network interfaces and 
firewalling rules – all in a consistent and predictable way, and without 
depending on LXC or any other userland package. This drastically reduces the 
number of moving parts, and insulates Docker from the side-effects introduced 
across versions and distributions of LXC."

Is that more clear?

TYL,
