What happened:

CircleCI failing because of

This job was rejected because the image 'Remote Docker version: docker-17.09.0-ce' is unavailable

Fix was to set:

remote-docker-version: docker24

Expected behavior:

Orb should default to an approved remote docker version instead of defaulting to 17.09.0-ce which is being deprecated and part of circleci brownout.

Additional Information:

Changing a default is usually pretty risky (will break people stuff) so Im thinking that changing the default value should be a mayor or minor release. Thoughts?
