      If you're making an efficiency argument, then it really depends on the details. You could conceivably have 10 programs that are horribly mismanaged, and 100 that are well-run.

          Sometimes the virtues of consolidating purposes are outdone by the virtues of redundancy. A single program is a single point of failure.
