Hmm. World (also in linux kernel) is not so efficient!
There are more tools for same task/problem. Maybe in the long run only one tools
per problem will survive, but the diversity is good, also at cost of the
duplicate work.

Do you want only one distribution for user, one for small companies, one for
schools,...? Do you want only one web server implementation? Only one filesystem
per task (only one journaling FS)?
Are they all "historical accident"?
