Building a “real” Linux distro

Multiple different versions of the same software running in the same environment increases complexity. Ram is cheap, loading code into ram wastes cycles and following new or different code paths trashes cpu cache and recent code paths.

So far I see only the opposite. Inability to be flexible about multiple versions adds a lot of unnecessary complexity.
