Nope. Of course, that's not what you asked. See original quote above. :)

However, we've certainly had multiple vendors write the same software (N-version
programming) on previous programs. I don't like that approach myself, but
that's a different discussion.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether or not twenty vendors wrote the same
software, or different software going into the same system, with respect to
the question you asked.
