Kevin, Here's a couple of ideas that come to mind:
A. You're a hosting company and it's a lot simpler to all of sudden be offering PHP and Ruby hosting without having to install the extra bits on the server. You have less maintenance and your clients programs run a bit faster than most other hosts. B. You're a corporate site with some PHP apps (or there's one you would like to use), again much simpler with fewer chance of complication. C. You're a corporate site with a mixture of CF and PHP and the VP wants to move everything to one environment ( PHP) and rewrite the CF apps. You can suddenly make a pretty good case for staying the course and running everything through CF-8. I am not saying integration isn't important too but I think Sean's onto something that could be much larger than you think.
