Translated to plain English, my reasoning puts php/mysql into the same
league as wuftpd or bind. Expect to update those packages twice a
year for security reasons. And never run it on machines that
criminals might care about - they will simply create a new exploit and
attack the machine before you get a chance for updates.

But if you're fine with that, feel free to use the software.
