Talk about burying the lead. That wasn’t mentioned in the matrix blog post at all. Only that Gitter would be using matrix natively. Doesn’t matter either way but weird to not mention it.
The lede is that Gitter is going to natively federate with Matrix. The fact Element bought Gitter is there in the matrix blog post:
> In practice, the way this is happening is that Element (the company founded by the Matrix core team to fund Matrix development) is acquiring Gitter from GitLab.
