Small VARs that sell turnkey solutions would rather bundle everything
together. One application version, one database version, one OS version,
one set of hardware, all bundled up and sold to a tech-illiterate customer
that doesn't employ a DBA or SysAdmin. That way, when something
stops working, you aren't guessing if it's this patch, that patch, etc etc.
Not saying that Matthias works for such a VAR, but such companies
definitely exist.
