I meant that SourceXchange wasn't promoting a particular R&D effort,
they were trying to be a clearinghouse (not a bad thing, but a different
thing). Stas (&co.) has the advantage that advocacy is part of the
intent, so by promoting mod_perl, he raises interest in his own
availability, and by promoting his availability, he promotes mod_perl.
He doesn't need to get bogged down in structuring a market and
attracting business to a marketplace, he can focus on selling himself,
his cohorts, and mod_perl.
