People often point to monoculture as a security problem: "Clones are vulnerable. Computers need sex!" I'm not endorsing this argument, but it's curious how neither side seems to mention the other when they're making their points. I once reimplemented much of SNMP because the standard library for it seemed too crufty; a year or two later a whole lot of programs were hit by the announcement of vulnerabilities in that library. (Unfortunately the employer who was going to open-source my code never got around to it.)
