In 2003, Ford Doolittle called this the "Genome of Eden" constraint, in Phil Trans Roy Soc Lond B. In 2007 (PNAS) and 2008 (PNAS), Tal Dagan used it to estimate LGT frequency and cumulative impact among prokaryotes. Good idea, again.

I guess that we have now reached a time where having previously worked on a topic counts as a competing interest.
good idea, again
