Black Hat no more?

I don't know if anyone saw this coming; Black Hat was acquired by CMP Media for about $10 million dollars. I know that when you look at the web site Black Hat lists consulting services available but I had never actually read anything about work they might have done. The Black Hat conference is the premiere annual security event. I think everyone is asking the question will Black Hat be able to maintain it's edge as part of a much larger (and seemingly much more conservative) media company? What's next, Ozzie Osbourne's music library being acquired by the Osmonds?
