Is true the realities of Get1 and Give1  worlds are different,
but the reality is that as developers we can't work with the some software
than in 2007. Because we are not isolated from the changes in the world,
and because our software is connected, and use software developed by
others.

Ouch. Really? We worked for 5 years for nothing?

The problem is we don't have one _real_model_of_deployments_.
We have different situations, some very small, some very big,
some with access to technology, some without nothing.
And in general, the big deployments can put money to push the development
in the direction they need, while for the small deployments is more
difficult.
Does not help that some small deployments are isolated
and do not communicate with the community, or that we as a community
are more fragmented than I would like.
