I'm sorry you don't like the new versioning.

Echoing @shykes below[1], Docker had premium paid products before this launch, but we're trying to make that clearer and to simplify the product lineup.

Note that Docker CE is _just_ as good as the Docker you were using yesterday. In addition, the version lifecycle improvements are designed to get new features into Docker users' hands faster (with monthly Edge releases) and to improve maintainability by overlapping the maintenance windows of free Docker CE quarterly releases.

The concern is that the Docker CE we'll be using in 2020 will be missing useful features that Docker EE has, and which vendors who ship containers/Dockerfiles for their products will rely on.

I would note this is a non-apology, given it's stating you are "sorry" someone doesn't like a decision that was made.
