Let's sit back, take a second, and examine the website that published this article. It's not true journalism, it's one look at one company's take, and it undoubtedly hypes the potential success of the project. I still find it very interesting, to be fair, but I think this might mitigate some of, say, veen's comments like about how they want to go fully modular. Google wants to go fully modular. Maybe it's because they've seen the market and have bought research that indicates other companies are exploring this option and they're trying to be #1. I agree that I think a gradual modularization would probably be easier for the market. It would be less game-changing too though.

When talking about 'them', I indeed meant Google. But that is mostly because it looks like the only solid candidate to actually get a product like this launched, and an insight into that process is interesting even though the site is probably biased.
