When you force something upon people they really don't want, it tends to 
lead to revolt. That's what you are seeing here.

It's really a reaction to a mandate decided by a few early on in the 
process (and even some involved then objected). Now more are joining in 
and realizing this SDP O/A mandate is a major concern, while others who 
originally thought SDP was okay have since changed their minds.

FYI - this "revolt" also consists of SIP people who are against this SDP 
mandate too, not just a bunch of 'new' tech guys.
