Most likely.

Have you ever looked at the profiles, even the default-linux profiles
for a given release?  They're all over the place, doing things
differently in lots of ways.  Something that I have been working on
since taking over Release Engineering is trying to make things closer to
being the same.  We all know that there will never be a way to have
things identical, but we're working to make them as similar as possible.
However, I can tell you that there are definitely *tons* of examples of
things being done all kinds of crazy ways by different teams.
