No, I was just hoping there was a chance to reduce the number of implementations, but it seems they are all actively used.

There might still be an opportunity to collect shared functionality (Alex mentioned Windows) but that was the existing design goal anyway, so it would be minor changes if any.

Thanks to everyone who responded.
