Renumbering is the problem of the acquirer, not the acquiree. That's an easy sell to the shareholders, because acquiring companies just assume IT is one of those areas that can be easily merged for cost savings. I'm more disappointed at how software companies don't push for v6 on their developer setups. How do we expect solid code out there that doesn't fall over or just have UI glitches when it experiences v6, if the developer and QA have never had a v6 setup?
