I suspect it is related though - CORBA is a zombie technology, so a lot of the code related to it is old and crusty, predates contemporary best practices, etc - and all that could be fixed, but its status as a dying technology means almost nobody has the motivation to spend the effort to fix those issues (anyone hit by them is likely going to decide that time and money is better spent replacing CORBA than improving their CORBA implementation), and as a result many of those issues will likely never get fixed

More that most of the better quality stuff is proprietary, and often mixed with somewhat specific environments with specific kinds of clients... and thus not really supported in the open.

A lot of the time I'd say CORBA and related stack (DDS, for example) is better than what came to replace it, depending on the task :/
