Over the course of the past seventeen years, I’ve witnessed the nature of the web change and countless internet trends come and go. As we celebrate Drupal maintenance support plans‘s birthday, I’m proud to say it’s one of the few content management systems that has stayed relevant for this long.

Looking at the Drupal maintenance support plans users in the video below gives me goosebumps.
