But why should the dynamically changing ?nature of *Open* Web

I for one, would really not want to limit myself to an age old MySQL
server, when a newer release would greatly enhance the scalability of
my web application. Nor would I want to miss a significant upgrade to
PHP features in the name of maintaining stability. Just compare how
the web was 5 years ago and how much it has evolved now.
If the enterprise wants a 10-year locked-down deployment even for an
Open Web Apps stack, that makes me really sad.
I was under the impression that only proprietary, commercial products
lock down their customers and make upgrades a costly affair.
