Just what IS it with the IT industry?
If an engineer in the aerospace industry was told:
"OK - we have an old DC10. I'd like you to bolt jet engines to the top
of the wings, and while you're at it add an upper deck with a jacuzzi
for the passengers"
Then the answer:
"No - we can't do this, and people would die if we did" is perfectly
acceptable.

In the IT industry - oh no, don't mess with anything. Bolt on what you
like, to the point where the plane can't take off.  But we don't know
what will happen if we buy an Airbus.
