Don't discount the need for portability. I have worked on at least two
projects in the last 10 years where we moved code that was over 8-10
years old between platforms. The first one replaced a system with 2 on
site support engineers and < 100 hour MTBF with a system that had on
call support and > 1700 hour MTBF. The second system has >$300k/year
maintenance and the replacement hardware cost about $200k. Making it
easy to do the move can be done without a significant cost today - if
you use the right methods.
