Twenty sounds a little low, but that's close enough...."

Are you really saying that the ENTIRE F22 software is duplicated by 20
vendors? That's hard to believe. Can you name the 20 vendors in this case.
I am not talking about 20 vendors writing different pieces of the same
system, but 20 COMPETELY SEPARATE versions of the entire program.

Why on earth would the airforce do this (have 20 versions of the software
written by different primes?)
