Just for the record, it also happens out of the deployment space. We
allowed (not unanimously either, irrc) some projects to be part of the
Big Tent and some of them have died or are dying.

Regarding all the company efforts to invest in one deployment tool,
it's going to be super hard to find The OneTrue and convince everyone
else to work on it.
Future will tell us but it's possible that deployments tools will be
reduced to 2 or 3 projects if it continues that way (Fuel is slowly
dying, Puppet OpenStack has less and less contributors, same for Chef
afik, etc).
