How not to say something in so many words

I saw this on Venturebeat, via Techmeme, its just too good not to mark - a (quite) senior Facebook guy, recruited from Google, is leaving to "pursue other interests etc". OK, standard stuff - but this paragraph caught my eye - it comes within the context of Facebook recruiting lots of new senior Googlers and shifting its philosophy of coding discipline to more "big Co" policies etc:

But it’s unlikely that Ling is leaving because of such philosophical differences, given his involvement in the latest changes; one source suggests its the flux within the organization, and the competing, talented executives, that are contributing to the organization changes, and departures.

Possibly the most roundabout way of saying "vicious internal politics" I've come across
