I agree that we can move many systems to the cloud… What I am saying is that to do it right, it will take time (1-3 years); it is going to cost money (setup $5 to $20K+); and in the end, we will not have the level of customization we have today.

Further concerns are that the organization allows the participation of anonymous editors (leading to editorial vandalism);…
