"widgetry" rant (Score 1)

How did the awful term widgetry, as used in the Linuxgram article, come into wide use?

Outside of GUIs the term widget refers to a meta-thing. But widgetry is used to refer to concrete things: "SuSe Enterprise Server widgetry", "server blade widgetry".

What's wrong with "SuSe Enterprise Server software" and "server blade hardware"? Plus it doesn't reek of "ain't I clever" poserdom.
