I've worked mostly in the midwest and the South during my career, and this lifecycle of talent is not something I've really observed outside of the Valley.
I suspect that this "lifecycle of talent" is a part of SV's secret sauce. As manufacturing becomes even more amenable to rapid prototyping, this sort of culture could be applied to that domain. (Is it already?)

I've wondered the same thing about whether this is a differentiator that makes SV companies successful. Observing it is part of the reason I'm even interesting in speaking to these companies, despite the unrealistic outlook I have on actually living there.
I do wonder if the Makerbot/3D Printing thing will lead to the same thing. I certainly think it could, but it'll be hard to make shippable products using 3D Printing at home. The production cost for volume will be too high to leave it to the consumer based machines.
