I tend to agree, this is probably also the point before the market gets flooded with cut-price ex-PHP devs :)
The bigger liability I would say is the chance of another bubble - I'd much prefer steady growth than a massive boom/bust cycle. A developer shortage may be a symptom of a coming bubble, but it certainly won't be the cause.
