I'm cautious by nature on this, since if things break, my phone rings with
upset customers asking why.  I tend to run a good deal closer to the edge on
my personal stuff, and make sure everything that I have deployed on customer
sites is solid before I move code and server technology to them.

My guess is that the developer's comment is a bit out of date, and a bunch
of people have banged on it since the comment was inserted.
