I suspect they would end up behaving differently despite our best attempts and intentions. For example:
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7165
I don't mean to pick on puppet specifically, just to illustrate that you can't always get what you ask for. If this bug affected a formula, for good or bad, things are certainly going to change once that bug is resolved and despite your best efforts, you now have new and different behavior. If we stick with just one CM platform, we minimize these kind of undesired variations.
