Whenever someone says "not ready for the enterprise", the E-word usually
stands for "large companies whose core business is not software".

These places typically have post-technical managers in charge of strategic
IT decisions, lots of money to throw at IT problems (much more than a Web
2.0 startup), and a zoo of systems and applications, spanning the last 25
years of the history of computing. Some of those applications need to share
data and otherwise cooperate.

Rational enough? :)
