You mean new as opposed to that set of people with 15 years of

If you have locally developed or modified packages you have to do that 
anyway - but the software side of computer science isn't changing all 
that quickly and for most purposes everyone is better off running the 
same thing instead of wasting their time pretending to re-invent it.
