Why?  Especially when that's not the direction that development 
technology is moving in.  It seems everything is becoming a platform.

Storage is a platform, processing power is a platform, and services like 
database and email are platforms.

Python is a platform on Google, PHP is part of many platforms.  I fail 
to see a benefit in building your own perl, mod_perl and Apache stack.
