Multiple empires beget balkanisation and lead to the sort of software
train splits that we see. I can imagine that it must be very difficult
to keep any sort of control on source code, when you have all sorts of
groups with all sorts of different product lines, different requirements
and different time-scales.

Just to add another layer of IOS entropy..
I forget where I heard it but supposedly the same source code compiled
by different people results in a different binary because people at
Cisco maintain their own separate Makefiles with their own set of
compiler flags. The "Compiled by.." line is more useful than you might
think.
