Google's Page Begins Major Reorg: Engineers, Not Managers, In Charge
http://j.mp/en3MIH (Digital Daily)
The main theme that seems to be emerging: An elimination of Google's
more centralized functional structure-where Rosenberg was one of
several manager kingpins-to one in which the individual business units
and their engineers, such as its most independent Android division,
rule more autonomously.
Reimagined like this, this would mean more powerful unit line
execs, mostly engineers, doing what needs to be done to
succeed, less burdened by the need to vet every little effort
through various managers of Google's powerful operating
committee.

At least as reported, it sounds like a significant "+1" overall to me.
