I'd say the bigger problem is having a stack that a very limited amount of people want to work on. This is true for a company where you want to hire specific people to work on your outdated stack (hard and expensive), but even more for an open source project where you need contributors willing to work on an old stack in their free time.
- rmetzler 4y agoI agree that this is a bigger issue, but only IF you want to change the code. My comment was more in the direction of "the project is done, deployed, and will not change anymore". Somehow software seem to be subject to weathering over time. And what seemed like a secure piece of software can become insecure over night, when someone is fuzzing it and publishes a PoC.
