One thing that keeps coming up is the UI. A modern UI will require changes to many packages, including Kernel, and Fileman. If these changes touch components (routines, options, DDs, etc) that are later modified and released by VA, then someone needs to merge the changes. Its possible that VA would incorporate some of the better releases, but not likely they would incorporate all of them. The code will diverge. Standing examples are IHS and CHCS. VOE will be another. Essentially these are different products. They have a separate release mechanism within their own organization. They manage the name and number spaces for development against their product. If need be they merge in releases from other organizations. This community will need something similar, maybe not today, but soon.
