This sort of thing has been true for years and years.
In 1989, everything was supposed to become Object Oriented.
In 1993, we were all supposed to port to The Best Designed OS ever, Windows NT.
In 1996, Java was write once and run everywhere.
In 2003, XML would solve all our problems.
I forget when that maturity model forced all kinds of ceremony on us. Heck, there was a "Personal Software Process" that allowed hobbyists to weigh themselves down with meaningless documentation.
UML, spiral development, agile Xtreme Programming... Ugh.
I've always blamed this progression of false idols on IBM, Microsoft and consultants need to find things for clients to pay them for.
