Support team says Nginx + Passenger harder to support than Apache

[drfence]

I work for a big news organization in the South East..  The support team is
arguing that it's more difficult to support Nginx + Passenger because any
patches, etc are made by updating source ( compiling modules statically )
and re-installing.  This is as opposed to Apache that can be updated using
yum with pre-built binaries.

Curious what people on this mailing list say about the support team
argument.
