Where is MDA going to?

Recently, while digging into the Internet searching illuminating words about MDA, I found an interesting article written by Ashley McNeile. The author presents very clearly the opposition of two mainstreams in developing MDA tools, the Elaborationist and Translationist approaches. Recently, during the last year, I've been involved in two different MDA projects, the first was actually an Elaborationist one, and the latter absolutely a Translationalist MDA project. I have a steady personal idea about the two approaches, quite a clear envision, supported also by these two recent personal experiences.
Is really so difficult for the opposite methodologies to converge into a comprehensive one?
I've my personal opinion about it, stay in touch, I'll write out more in the future...
