I call crap on that. I was a single systems person for a bunch of systems for a long time. You keep your sanity by enforcing policy and you can do that by using the tools available to you to simplify the tasks. You don't need homogeneous hw, you need LARGELY homogeneous hw. So you limit the processor archs and you try to focus things down as much as possible.
It isn't necessarily enough. Do you consider a mix of centos4 and fedora to be homogeneous? This is what I use and, mainly due to gfortran/g77 differences, I have to statically build on fedora to run on centos4.
