The ship has sailed on that one. […]

Please note two things:

I don't claim there must be no differences, only that differences proposed today must come with compellign justification.

The fact that there are already differences doesn't justify diverging further. Whatever positive justification is offered, “they already diverge” cannot count for creating further divergence.
