yes, support exists today, its just not complete, i.e. its close but not completely feature parity with docker as the runtime. When it does get there we will all be happy.
So I should have been more clear, you can specify rkt today, but many things wont work, a lot of things have improved for the upcoming 1.2 k8s release but still not perfect. hence what I meant by "released", something that is can be viewed as a complete replacement for the docker runtime.
