Well, considering that I'm a team coordinator/webmaster for hundreds of international sites... I can state that I absolutely hate when the development team does stuff without consulting mine because "get with the times" when all that would be needed is a few simple changes to stylesheets and such but instead to go for big system updates that breaks everything that requires months (even years) to get it working correctly, aka like it used to, so no.. I will disagree on that whole "updates are needed"... they usually aren't, it's more a question of more intelligence is needed, but that doesn't work as they don't have that, and well... money, they need to warrant their jobs. Some of the most stupid people I've known have been the IT people that came from an university with bright ideas and manages to convince the brass the do such changes.
So, all this to say that it takes about 5 years (every time) to get things "right", and then they go with "let go fancy and "update" our systems (or such)", and it has never worked well, ever... and it's back to another 5 years before they fix the bugs they created. And no, there isn't anything truly new, nor anything that couldn't have been done with the old system. If you know what you're doing, one can program just about anything to do anything "new".
