Sad of course, and something you will see a lot of. Some company hires out the development of its web presence to a contractor. The web moves on but the web site still works if you match up the tech with it that was current at the time it was developed. So rather than pay another contractor to update your already "working" web site the bean counters say "Just put up a message telling people what they have to do to make it work."
