The more different solutions you will need to work together "to make it

You're assuming that everybody has to install N solutions.
It appears that the direction we are heading is: Everybody may
install one instance of N different solution types.
As to whether this will be adopted over replacing the system with
something entirely new, I think the market has already spoken.
Content filtering. DNSBLs. Custom blocking. Spam Traps.
The market already *is* installing lots of migration patches.
Because incremental changes, no matter how horrible from an
architectural standpoint, are easier and safer (from a sysadmin
standpoint) than wholesale change. This is especially true when
there are competing solutions.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
