Well they already have pretty much what Fabric and Bifrost wants to be. They can say whatever they want! ; D I mean its not like Sidefx is going to wait idle when fabric/bifrost grows up.

Maybe factually true, but meant to mislead IMHO, because they don't have a background UI/animation/modelling workflows, they come from XSI's mental ray integration and viewport HD. That makes these developers equal to just about any experienced developers starting into something new. IMHO it's quite different when ADSK or Fabric says, ho, we're working on something procedural and we have these guys who worked on something similar before in XSI.
