If you enter a serious contract witha customer who knows what he is doing, 
this is not good enough.

I know the situation well enough from both sides (both as developer as well as 
employing contractors for projects) that long term maintainenace plays a 
heavy role in all serious contracts, and demonstrating that long term 
meintenace (eg security patches etc) is warranted is certainly a condition 
without you won't sign any contracts with me.

Frameworks that are under rapid development with ustable APIs are very nice 
for proof-of-concept development, one-off quickies etc - but absolutely 
unsuitable for serious deployment of long term projects UNLESS you are 
prepared to put in the substantial extra maintenance work.

Frameworks with stable APIs and lots of things going on under the hood are 
fine in that apsect though - if I can do an easy_install -U ... and it 
doesn't break my site, it's usable. Else, it's not.
