Reminds me of joelonsoftware's recent Architecture Astronauts post. A relevant quote: "The hallmark of an architecture astronaut is that they don't solve an actual problem... they solve something that appears to be the template of a lot of problems.

Since 1988 many prominent architecture astronauts have been convinced that the biggest problem to solve is synchronization." http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/05/01.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/05/01.html
