This demonstrates an all to often misunderstanding of the purpose 
of Linux, and open source in general (depending on what licence 
is used).

Fragmentation is an important, necessary, and inevitable outcome 
of open source.

Open source provides the freedom for the user to adapt the 
software to their own environment. That's the whole point..to 
enable that kind of 'fragmentation'.

(Of course, if your real objective is to dominate a market, then 
fragmentation is the last thing you want).
