You are all assuming that the people running it are Free Software folks. 
They are not. They are business people who just happen to publish some 
materials and run some events aimed at making money from the Free Software 
and Open Source communities.

Their business covers a wider spectrum than just our little niche.

They would be better running Linux/*BSD and Apache however they have 
chosen not to. Probably that's a matter of ignorance however this 
discussion comes up from time to time and, presumably, someone must have 
cared enough to point this out to them in the past. They are still running 
on that platform.

Were anyone to take on the task that person would probably have to redo 
all of their websites, including rewriting all the scripts in perl, php or 
python as their probably asp at the moment.
