You are mischaracterizing my comment, what I said was true. Most distributed systems work (now) has a link back to Berkeley distributed systems labs. Someone wanted context about Hydro (Joe Hellerstein).

I am not going to make every contextualizing comment an authoritative bibliography , you of all people could have added that w/o being snarky and starting this whole subthread.

I didn't think you were saying that most distributed systems work happening at Berkeley harks back to earlier work at Berkeley. That's a bit obvious.

The only way I can interpret "most distributed systems work now" is a statement about work happening globally. In which case it is a sweeping and false generalization.

Is there another interpretation?
