Or, an equally valid view is that the sysadmin in question has
learned from experience that every new-and-different extension
to the basic unix system promoted by one or a few vendors has
historically not turned out to be necessary and sometimes
introduced new problems. A wait-and-see attitude isn't such
a bad thing. When it is proven, you might expect all distributions
to ship it.
