Shawn I agree with you, but, some of the decisions in the corporate world are handed down through higher powers/pay grade, who do not always like to hear counter arguments. For example, this is the same reason why govt/federal restrict tech folks only use certified DBs/App Servers like Oracle,WSAD etc (Not to say that govt teams are not using SOLR, I know library of congress etc use it.). Some times the decision is above my pay grade more so when the firm is not a core Technology firm. I would rather find a way than be labeled an anarchist, after all anything is possible with software right !!?? ;-)
