Chris (Blaicher) is looking at the question from the ISV point of view.
While all of the comments made on both sides of the question are
correct, what is not said - at least not here - is that very often we
see customers who are very back-level on OS and middleware maintenance
and who still want to get the latest and greatest functionality from
their ISV software. That is a recipe for misery on both sides, but it
never stops people from asking for it. Hence Chris' question (I suspect
that was his motivation anyway)
