While having choices is nice, if you are going to make the inevitable
internet car analogy, if one of the companies (Linux distros in general)
only has about 1% of the total market to begin with, would you still
think it was a good idea to fragment that into a bazillion models that
can't be supported with interchangeable parts? You aren't talking Ford
and Chevy here - it's more like DeLorian and Tesla.
