Nitpicking: in the final chart with merged providers, the 'mandrillapp.com' section and 'mailchimp' section are still shown as separate.

Is this intentional? I assumed the opposite, given that:

> Mandrillapp.com is the transactional email service for Mailchimp. It used to be a standalone service until it became deeply integrated into Mailchimp.




Yes it's intentionally as Mandrill is still used solely for transactional emails and Mailchimp for marketing. Same reason I didn't merge Mailgun and Mailjet.


Thanks for the explanation and for the article. That was a fun read!
