I was referring to Bracha's stuff about how static fields and global names in general harm software engineering, deployment (live code updating), concurrency, testability, etc. pp. I'm not sure that this stuff is novel, and it's certainly building on research of others. But it's definitely non-trivial, and it goes far beyond the basic insight that resource contention is a bottleneck in parallel/distributed systems. The interesting part is that it indeed comes to similar solutions looking from a different angle and a different problem set. That's what I wanted to point out.
