Or is it the general trend of moving away from the centralized Internet, the force of deglobalization? Instead of upholding standards and cherishing RFCs it seems that so many people and corporations are trying to invent the next protocol, the next flow, often poorly documented and proprietary. Even Linux is proud to be not Unix. I know, it has never been, but we can remember times when READMEs had lists of supported operating systems, and stuff did compile. Everyone's excited about ARMs and non-Intel stuff. I don't mind diversity, but it feels almost like celebrating fragmentation. I wonder if we are heading towards something like a pre-Internet era, with CompuServes and Prodigies, incompatible formats, with countries investing into their own future independent and incompatible architectures?
