I see LAMP as opportunistic, guerilla technology. It tends to show up in organizations without management approval, awareness or acknowledgement. These sorts of systems are usually maintained by someone who has a completely different job that they are neglecting to do the LAMP work.

The PHBs won't hire someone for it because they tend to see maintaining and building LAMP tools as a supplemental job duty, once they become aware that LAMP even exists. LAMP is an afterthought.

PS, Does LAMP exist? IMH, not as a thing, but as a broad class of things. LAMP and mammal have a similar scope and variability.
