Phoronix also specializes in (usually really, really bad) benchmarks. "Old" also means "slow" to these people -- even though new software is almost always slower than old software, they imagine that a constant process of fierce optimization has actually sped it up, and the power of the placebo effect takes over.
Wrappers are also especially bad, because, y'know, it's a function call and they are really expensive, right? (Er, no.)
I didn't read the Phoronix report as especially negative.
To make it clear you've started a new project you need to start your own version numbering, ie 'Trinity 1.0'.
