What is confusing me is that AD says that they need to continue work on inventions, they need devs to focus more on that. But lets be honest here, if you look Maya development in last few releases, they did not invent much (except Duncan work on nucleus and Viewport 2.0) but they were just buying technologies, like Naiad, Nex (modeling toolset), now they added Unfold.... Were are those AD inventions at all, Skyline? AFAIK same situation is with 3dsMax, entire Graphite modeling toolset is some 3dsMax plugin (do not know name) they bought. If they started something like Fabric, well I would understand that.
