I think this thread is a fascinating living example of how short term 'our' digital world can be viewed, a mistake in my belief, infrastructure projects can easily take 25 years from beginning to end, I don't imagine that organisation would be keen to switch platforms many times during that period. Are we really all working on digital artefacts confident that they will expire their usefulness in such a short time frame? Perhaps that is worth considering, compare tidying a room every day instead of putting up some storage...
