I don't believe that is correct. LSI acquired 3ware, and Avago acquired
LSI. So, Avago owns the 3ware and LSI technology, but Adaptec and Areca
are still competitors.

If it makes you feel any better, Avago acquired Broadcom, not the other
way around. I would expect Avago's culture to be the dominant one, and
watch for changes in Broadcom's firmware and documentation practices.
