Longevity in platforms

This is the kind of thing that pisses me off and makes it so hard to commit to platforms.  Churn and uncertainty is the thing that kills a platform or toolkit faster than neglect.  I am just tired of watching projects bubble up, shape up and then get managed to death... stop changing stuff.  Just get it right and stop.  Give us a target to hit. Allow a community to form, learn best practice and actually get enough time to practice it.  Then leave it the firetruck alone!
