First, there was the recent release of the [new white paper](https://lp.20for20.com/25-wp-centralization-for-third-party-management) about how third-party managers are progressing toward a centralized operating model. This week, the focus switches to another big centralization topic: maintenance.

Since then, I have been involved in many discussions about this news, particularly the central problem I see with these lawsuits: the allegations are simply false. What has surprised me somewhat through conversations over the last few days is that good-faith actors in the industry do not understand the gap between the allegations and the reality of how the technology works.
