I'm simply telling you Heroku is not a stable platform that you can trust. It's up to you to figure out what to do. I haven't offered any solutions.

Just because it's a slick product to get going doesn't mean that you can trust it to be a reliable and secure host—or be around for the long-term.

I think it's obvious an ecosystem without a Heroku will help the upstarts. I understand that doesn't help you get a new host today. I'm not telling you to just go to another PaaS and expect them to be the next Heroku in a couple of years—chances are they won't be.
