Personally, I consider the phrases "Open Source" and "Out of the box"
mutually exclusive when it comes to web applications.
...
The thing about open source software is that it is generally subject to
"Technical Darwinism" ... if there is fragility in the system, and
people notice it, it will get fixed fairly quickly (especially if the
application is popular). >..> david

--While I agree with your point, a better term would be "design with a
feedback loop". If there is fragility in the system, random mutations plus
selection would just simply kill it.
(...Try throwing random bit flips into your program object code and see
what happens....even after a zillion zaps....what a video game...Results
guaranteed to emulate Al Barsa's MAKEAMESS command....)
