This is technically a very different thing from 802.11s. They don’t even fulfill the same purpose. Dcow’s source is an Eero engineer on reddit apparently wanting to tar this new standard with 802.11s’s failures.

No one is trying to tar anything. A central controller for client devices doesn't change anything.
