>From the blog:

"'SOA' has become a bad word. It must be removed from our vocabulary."

Amen to that.

But I hope we don't just jump on the next TLA with the same 
overwrought, over-hyped and over-extended expectations. Just about 
every thing you mentioned in terms "failed to deliver" is exactly what 
was said about EAI. Yet the fundamentals of EAI carry on in SO and 
other architectural approaches.

A review of the comments to the blog reveals how varied are the 
expectations and meanings of "SOA." As you point out, it is the label 
that has issues, not the concepts behind the label (whatever those 
concepts may be for a given definition of SOA). 

Jeff suggested a focus on "the basics of service identification, 
analysis and design."

Amen to that too.
