I agree (although maintaining system control scripts across multiple but
similar platforms is probably a real pain).
But the benefits of future systems having a unified set of control "levers"
seem great - experience with one system would transfer better to another
(less retraining from management point of view), and the various *BSD
systems might be viewed more as a single presence in the work place.
