It gets some great features as a result of this, but it means most of the IT and Dev orgs are in very unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory. As for Ericsson themselves, I don't know for certain, but my suspicion is it was driven by the chip/hardware side. They're buying network processors and other components from Broadcom, Qualcomm, ARM flavor whatever, etc, and with each new edition of these gcc will already be ready to go from the vendor, vs erlang may need to be updated to keep current. It probably got old trying to maintain what was almost a parallel OS.
