Who knows - if they keep pushing, it might eventually become true.

I remember at one point being part of the crowd that laughed at "Write once, run anywhere" slogan that Sun used for Java ("Write once, debug everywhere" was the joke back then). If you look at how things stand today, however, it has become mostly true (for server side applications).

If it "might eventually become true," they might want to reword how declarative the saying is, or change it to something like "Code once. Deploy everywhere. Maybe someday."
