It wasn't based off of that at all. I discussed the concept and my developments with Sehe back in July when he decided to give it a shot for SAPP. It was working well before that post was ever made, it just wasn't ready for release.
On a different note, I have no idea why it took so many years for these features to come to Halo, ignoring attempts that were destined to fail because they were being tackled from the wrong direction. None of them are particularly complex.
