-System integrators, administrators, and engineers spend a lot of effort maintaining the operating systems on the resources they are reasonable for, and as a result tend to take a cautious approach on their systems. As a result, you may see hosts installed with a production, mission critical operating system that is "old" and may not have a lot of packages available for it. Or you may see software or libraries that are too old or incompatible with the software you need to run, or maybe just haven't installed the software stack you need due to complexities with building, specific software knowledge, incompatibilities or conflicts with other installed programs.
