Yes, WebAPI is wrapped inside of MVC4.  And there's another thing that just 
makes me mad; when people want to rewrite their application for the heck of it 
just so that they can be deployed under the latest fad.  The folks from Yet 
Another Forum are now saying that their project could be moved and rewritten as 
ASP.net MVC too, and for what?  To look cool?  Apparently, and what's wrong 
with a project that is written in Web Forms and doing fine?  I'm sorry, but I 
don't get it.  And once that changes, if it does, other folks who use YAF will 
be screwed including those at Sueetie, who make a great product all based on 
Web Forms.  Though web forms and MVC can work together, though it's not as 
simple as one would think.  If you want MVC, then use Web Forms MVP.  And who 
said WCF is pointless middleware?  Isn't it a good way to create web services?  
And if not for WCF, what's next?  Back to ASMX from 2006?  Come on!  Anyway, 
guys, I'm sorry for the rant, but I had to get it out somewhere, right?
