For me, this falls in the nothing-new-under-the sun category.

<...content that is written, published, and then abandoned. Someone eventually comes around to it and wonders why it isn't working, and then they build something that does, and then it eventually gets abandoned as well.>

Even if you come up with a clever solution at one point, while learning new/cool technologies, you must have a maintenance process in place. It's much more fun to work on the migration project as a contractor and leave, than do the less fun but essential maintenance.
