It's not that things are refused because they are new. It's rather they
are refused because they are not yet "well understood" and "mature".
Mil-Spec work is _always_ like that. 
Often, there are areas where software is never upgraded or changed
because the systems are never networked. Thus any problem can never be
fixed and the process that machine exists for _MUST_ be up at all
times. So, no "new hotness allowed".  Imagine being stuck in a world
where "new" was RHEL 5.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
