That's exactly why I was on the side of panspermia already. But the number of rogue planets makes a nice independent path to the same conclusion.
An interesting question to me is - if the Earth was seeded with life, does this mean we will find life elsewhere in the solar system, because they were too, or does it mean we will not find life elsewhere, because a rogue planet collided with proto earth in a very unlikely event, and the rest of the solar system (or at least the potential life supporting objects) came out of a sterile nebula around the sun?
