What I'm saying is that if Intel wanted to make an official statement, I'd imagine they'd do it on their website, not via a commit to an open source project attributed to an employee's personal address.
Since I'm not in the business of manufacturing controversy to gain upvotes or drive ad clicks, I see this as nothing more "Chris Wilson says he isn't going to contribute to XMir". If Intel wants to make an official statement, that will change my mind.
