Eh, I'm no conspiracy theorist nor am I supposing foul play or pithiness or anything. I'm merely noting they're likely influenced by background conversation nobody's really paying attention to but the related folks. Tech is always a small crowd of people doing things in specific areas, and I'm not dumb enough to think they don't talk or read each other's stuff or whatnot. Probably read something on a mailing list or in IRC or something, similar sparks happened, they led down the chain, then we end up here, that sort of thing. It's not bad, just human behavior in small groups. The politics behind it aren't interesting to me, I'm just noting that it's not likely as completely quarantined from each other as they might complain, even if they don't realize such. That's totally cool with me, even if my supposition (again, unfounded even if it is how such things often occur) is completely incorrect in this particular instance. =c)
