Linux needs diversity.

| The Human race is successful (too successful perhaps?) because of its

| expanding without having to worry if its heart pumps at the correct rate or
| the intestines are routed properly. The same thing should be for Linux. The
| advantage Linux has over the Human race is that if a better, stronger
| skeleton comes along then it can be replaced across the board and a new
| species of Linux is born.
