There's one area where the two are easily conflated -- kernel sources.
Historically, every architecture has its own kernel source etc.

Hopefully, that will change -- the new kernel process is quite
amenable to integrating arch-specific changes, if they're sane.
This was different during 2.4's lifetime.
