The common pattern in acquisitions is that the acquiring party asks for
information from the acquired party during this transition period.
There are legal constraints on what information can be shared and on how
the information is shared, etc, etc, but requests are common and can
impact the engineering teams. I've been on both sides of this, during
the MySQL and now the Oracle deals.
It could be that your contacts are refering to the impact of these
inquiries.
