This started here long ago. Back when we were owned by an entirely different company. However, back then (1990s) I understood (and hated) why. I mentioned our CICS software was off support and we should upgrade to a supported level. The CIO said (near quote): "What we have is working, So, no. Because that would increase our budget. And by keeping our budget numbers lower, I get a bigger bonus at the end of the year. So forget it." -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
