different levels of funding leads to different management strategies. Besides, why don't use this kind of solutions when they work fine?
If you want consistent results, run a consistent platform.
Right, results may not be 100% consistent on different platforms even with statically linked executables, but, given that there are different platforms it helps a lot and even though results are not exactly the same they may be close enough -- just like if the same program was run on 2 different computers.
