To be clear, I think that ARC should be told when we integrate things
with duplicate functionality with other projects.  Sometimes there are
architectural issues that need to be considered.  When an ARC case
highlights how it relates to other projects, I think this helps ARC to
decide if there might be any such issues.  As long as any such
issues are being addressed in a reasonable fashion, then there should
not be a problem with providing multiple projects that do the same sort
of thing.

In general, it is good for teams working on similar projects to have
communication and dialog with each other.  By highlighting any such
relationships in the ARC materials, you help to communicate to ARC
that the project teams are working together to an reasonable degree.
