I'd be curious how well an upgrade ends up working from CF9 multi-server installation to CF10. I am betting it will have some flukiness to it. I really don't think our purchasing folks look at the details down to something like jboss v. jrun. Now the IT folks who just want any reason at all to kill CF, I am sure would use that as an arguing point against it.
