25 Years Later: Should the Agile Manifesto Authors Reunite?

One of the original Agile Manifesto authors reflects on the 25th anniversary of the manifesto, explaining why a formal reunion of the original signatories is unlikely. He notes that some authors have passed away, and more importantly, the group deliberately chose to 'let it go' after the manifesto caught on — leaving it to future generations to carry the torch. He acknowledges the movement didn't always evolve in the direction they intended, but sees that as inevitable.
