Mariposa becomes the startup Cohera

[Mark S. Miller]

It's still an agoric distributed database, but their website has been 
cleansed of all references to prior work, including their own!  What is this 
seemingly common commercial practice about?!?!?  Has Bill Gates established 
a perception that dishonesty leads to success, so if you want to be 
credible, you have to appear dishonest?  I don't get it.

(The references to themselves I most would have liked to see are, of course, 
http://mariposa.CS.Berkeley.EDU:8000/postgres/papers/S2K-94-49.pdf and 
http://ilpsoft.eecs.berkeley.edu:9636/~ilpsoft/98abstracts/jsidell.1.html .)

	Just mildly annoyed, I wish them well,
