I'm not suprised at all with integrate instead of replace. I don't think POET really gets off their feet and into the market unless they integrate then replace. Whether anyone likes it or not, in my opinion, it's the only way it can be done. In my opinion we will see in some capacities POET replace certain tech in earlier stages but in other capacities an integration will be first.
Makes me curious as to how the developer kit handles "integration" type development.
