Which is a good point.  Yet, if that one vendor bites it and closes the
doors <we're seeing alot of this these days with some big names> then you
have one hell of a mess on your hands trying to get a new vendor to pick
up the pieces.  Additionally, you do run a risk that one failure in code
and a working exploit might well traverse the whole defensive straedgy.
another issue is how well those vedors do the 'jack-of'all-trades' coding.
Many folks like to find different vendors that do one thing well, and are
able to do it in a fashion that is interoperable with other vendors
products.

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
