Observation: Open source CMS's (e.g. Drupal and WP) power 30% of the web.
Question: Why is there not an open source PaaS to power them? /1

In the early days of CMS's, things were quite simple. Heck in 2001-2002 I created a pseudo markdown-like template to HTML convertor. /3

Nice! It's an indication that many people are tired of hitting and solving the same problem over and over again.

Hopefully we see many different attempts at this answer space so that people can focus on what matters and abstract away the bullshit.
