>> Cisco is a mature company.

A teenager at best. They still have a lot of growing pains before they become adult like GE or IBM.

Are you referring to dilution caused by employee options or acquisitions? If it's the latter, wouldn't discontinuing it necessitate a different and more costly approach to r&d?
