My God. That FAQ pretty much states my whole perception of the Linux landscape over the last couple of years. Current distros would do well to pay attention to Wikipedia's reasons for mass migration.

Wikipedia is somewhat unusual (they have highly specialized servers and basically can deploy their own specialized sauce over the general-purpose distribution of their choice).

This is not really applicable to any org with varied needs, can not afford to replace every stack it uses and must go with what their chosen distribution ships.
