That hasn't stopped anyone before - CA bought both ACF2 and TSS, after all. But 
yeah, it'll be interesting: BMC Unload Plus and CA FU, for one. Thing is, those 
products can likely be converged: given some sort of job converter (if that's 
even really necessary), they can push customers to one or the other. Plus 
they're utilities, so no end-user visibility.

Not so much with ACF2/TSS, whose philosophies are so different that converting 
would have huge and lasting impact, including on end-users. Hence their 
continued existence as discrete products.

My $0.02 ($0.03 Canadian); no warranty, express or implied, etc.
