But, "Like I said, this is politically necessary. RSS has been handled in a far less collaborative -- some say dictatorial -- manner. There's a huge amount of resentment over that, and it's fueling this new movement. So the redesign is taking place in a fully-transparent environment -- a smoke-free room..." The article takes some jabs at Dave Winer; in his response Winer offers his qualified (but short-lived) endorsement for Echo but sounds some well-taken warnings about "the Bigs."
