[contingencies]

The company must scale! Sysadmin and webdev must be split! Therefore all (junior, barely unix-aware) web developers must provide automated Freebsd-specific install, test, start and stop scripts in a custom and ill-considered package format with no inter-component runtime or instllation-time dependency support. For every project. Therefore the perlmonger in charge and sysadmin extraordinaire can automate their dabblings.

Needless to say, getting barely PHP capable people who'd heard of unix to automate dependency installation and maintenance on such a platform didn't work out well. Did I mention this was 2010?
