Yeah, to be honest I don't like the consolidation approach.  The reason 
why is because the hardware seems to be quite different underneath, so the 
risk of breaking another chip is high.

Hmm, it's my understanding that the hardware implementations are quite 
different between the Wireless and the Catalog parts.  Certainly the 
Wireless engineers didn't have any knowledge at all of what Catalog folks 
were doing, and many implementation assumptions that held true across 
several Wireless parts did not hold up at all when extended to Catalog 
parts.
