By the design of our repo structure and repoman, yes.

Not a belief but experience - I find it really hard to remember all the
corner cases with 6 different flavours (plus eclasses in multiple
revisions, etc. etc.)
Most stuff is "similar enough" to cause funny bugs (like src_prepare not
working, sigh :D )
For me it makes sense to homogenize things so accidental mistakes become
more rare.
