Well yeah, there's tons of possible bad here. 1. Some contractor would get millions over a few years for doing this 2. Spending time to maintain old code that no one cares about just to make stuff work is kinda annoying (both for those maintaining the code and #1) 3. I don't want to see the report on how many Allaire ColdFusion with NT 3.5 .gov sites are out there .... any other reasons not to do this? Maybe, but here's the real question - why in the hell would we want to do this?
