This is pretty obviously what they are doing for the new Touch/Glo, I would agree. And the hardware between the two Touch models I've owned certainly appears identical too. And yet if you chuck the old firmware on the new device it bricks (I tested for the team after backing up). Whatever the differences are they must be significant enough not to enjoy the benefits of rolling the old Touch into the unified codebase and further extending the conditional forking.
