"What brand of diced tomatoes, honey?"
Reminds me of this classic Aussie ad! Back then, this actually was kind
of true.

Tomatoes and milk are commodities, aren’t they? Free Software is a
commodity, too.
Tomatoes come in at least two sizes, among other varieties. They can be
bought fresh, canned, peeled, unpeeled, diced and puréed, that I can think
of. Milk can commonly be full-cream, homogenized, low-fat or UHT, among
other variations mentioned in that ad. Not to mention that it doesn’t even
have to come from cows ...
Does anybody complain that the tomato and milk markets are “fragmented”?
That they suffer from too much choice? That the world would be better off
if tomatoes were just tomatoes, and milk was just milk?
