I consider this good reasoning.
FWIW: I didn't intend to recommend one software or advise against
another. But rather refute statements that I believe are wrong in order
to help making a better decision.  I assumed that was one of the things
the original message intended to provoke.

You seem to be all set, but if you're looking for suggestions as to what
features your software should have, I recommend ranking a static export
high on your list of things to look out for. Not only will it make
deployment much easier, but it will also make archiving the whole thing
very easy.
