LAMP is still a useful term. If only because there are still so many LAMP systems out there (I know this because I still get people asking me to help maintain them).

the community has long since recommended the use of a framework built on the PSGI specification, deprecating 1990s-era CGI scripts and the mod_perl Apache extension

This is true, of course. But the Perl-using world is a lot bigger than the Modern-Perl-using community.

So I think we're stuck with LAMP for a while longer. But maybe we need to redefine it to mean "legacy system that needs rewriting :-)"
