The problem with broad generalizations is that they are always wrong. (Meant as a joke.) I skimmed this thread now and then and thought about my experience in building and operating systems. Ever since “The Cuckoo’s Egg” - as far as I know - “genetic code diversity” has been a fad. It got woven into a lot of requirements. Having spent a long time inside operators, I’ve seen this become more of an albatross than a “good idea." If I am operating a system supporting external customers, homogeneity is a benefit. If I am operating a system for my own benefit, heterogeneity is a benefit. My recommendation for a service provider stick with one code base and learn to run it well. My recommendation for a customer of such a provider use two or more service providers.
