Multi vendor philosophy has to be introduced at the design stage.

Doug, how does one second source a custom 40Gb/s switch fabric ASIC? How about a PMC Sierra Quad T3 Framer? Or a Vitesse Semiconductor 622Mb/s transceiver?

Alternately ,R& D done in isolation often leads to the scenarios you describe.

This isn't a PC motherboard. This is bleeding edge high speed communications hardware. Quite different animals, having nothing to do with isolation.
