And using different versions of the same program on different architectures is always asking for trouble. Apart from the fact that the same application on different Unix types (even if the same version) isn't necessarily expecting all its files in the same location or is even capable of reading the same files due to their binary encoding which might differ between architectures and/or host OSes. So this really doesn't make matters all that much worse or more complex for Multi-OS/Multi-Arch networks.
