Yup - federated communities grow specially well in a corporate landscape. However my concern is if they're able to stay dominant enough to prevent a cycle like:

  1. Corporate landscape.
  2. You got a few federated alternatives growing.
  3. Federations grow enough to become the main landscape.
  4. Corporations do something [I do not know what] better than federations.
  5. Corporates grow to the point of dwarfing the federations, into a corporate landscape.

For example, it's possible for me that corporations are specially able to exploit a federated landscape through EEE. I'm just conjecturing though.
