Here's other POV.

	I think 80486 is sub(super)class of 8086.  There are also a lot
	ICs that use the 8086 as core and add other functionalities.

	In software, I believe X-window protocol, MS-Window API, DOS
	interrupt functions are good examples of some very successful 
	reuseable software components.   If we agree on this, maybe 
	we should start analysis why these APIs succeed.
