What does “agile” Enterprise Architecture mean?

Have you seen this before? The phrase "agile Enterprise Architecture" seems to be popping up more and more around the internet.

"Experts" out there are calling what they now do and teach "agile" Enterprise Architecture. What does this "agile" enterprise architecture mean?

Putting the adjective "agile" in front of the already misrepresented and ambiguous phrase "Enterprise Architecture" doesn't make the discipline and practice more effective.

We do not believe that "agile" Enterprise Architecture can even be a real thing! It is the output of TRUE Enterprise Architecture that would enable enterprise "agility" – which is really the desired outcome! A very big difference.

EACOE Enterprise Architecture results in initiatives that enable "agility" within enterprises, giving your enterprise what it needs to win over competitors and have a sustainable competitive advantage.

It does seem that adding the adjective "agile" to Enterprise Architecture makes it now different than previous methods, teachings, courses, or "certifications."

This would imply, using the antonym of "agile" that, what they were doing before was dull and slow, and what they are doing now, "agile" Enterprise Architecture, is quick and nimble.

What does that say about the previous approach these "experts" called "Enterprise Architecture"?
