The Problem is that the GDF needs ages for something new, they said swarming isnīt needed until Xolox came, the people cried for swarming within Gnutella. Now G2 Mike saw that the old 0.6 needs improvements and he isnīt sure the only one who said this... now he had two options to wait for the GDF (especially Vinnie and Limewire) or do it alone - the good point in a free world nobody have to follow him... and I see many other do it. So this protocol is an improvement... an improvent which needs several months (or years) in the GDF...
To make it short, everybody can write his own protocol, nobody needs to use it - every developer decides what he does...
