That is a reasonable conjecture, but misses the point. On occasion
I have had as many as four different versions of Linux running
on my machine concurrently. I have run Windows, MSDOS, and Linux
on a single machine, concurrently. I have run 80x86 software
on a Sun Sparc.
I mentioned here that I can think of at least two ways of running
the v4 software concurrently with v5, at least one of which does
not even require the same architecture for the hardware.
So, while the conjecture is a reasonable one, the conclusion does
not follow that it would take significant work. Running multiple
versions of Linux, or whatever, is not difficult.
