Well, I guarantee you that no two people on this list have had identical experiences. :)  I certainly have been bitten by the problems with the current system.  But the resistance to major version upgrades is *huge*, and I'm strongly biased against anything that will make that harder.  I'm not sure I'm communicating how big a problem telling many large installations, "If you move to v12/13/etc., you will have to change your backup system" is going to be.
