      Rockwell is like Comcast. You have no opinion on them or a blind raging hostile opinion of them.

      Edit: on a serious note the systems engineering folks have been telling this before my parents were born. This should not have been a shock to anyone. Diversity in components means greater ability to withstanding changes, the tradeoff is you are going to run less efficiently even in good times.
