And you're a huge fan of Ruby on Rails right...?

  And he's also part of the Long Now Foundation and did volunteer coding for MediaWiki (Don't know the guy, just googled around). No need to be mean to a nice guy. :-\

  Whatever else he's running, adding PHP to it increases the risk.

    That's true of any piece of software you add.

  I've worked in RoR, but calling me a huge fan would be a stretch. I have a number of substantial issues with it. Maybe it's just what I've happened to see, but my impression is th I certainly had to do a lot more upgradingat the PHP platform security issues were more frequent and more substantial than RoR has been. I certainly had to do a lot more upgrading. Maybe it's different these days. But the major difference I've seen up close is that RoR makes it much easier for average programmers to be productive while still coding securely. If I'm going to be running J. Random Hacker's code on a personal server, I'm going to worry less with Rails. All that said, I'd also be reluctant to install a Rails app. Just less reluctant than PHP.
