Challenges and Problems in Working with Open Source Software/Solutions

Dear Sir/Madam,

I request you all to list out the challenges, difficulties and problems you face/encounter while working with Open Source Software(OSS) or Solutions. If you don't work on OSS then also I would be glad to know which factors are pulling you back.ย 
You may tell yourย stories if they are related to commercial solutions, blogs, CMS etc.
It is good to know about the new problem (if any). We will work on them to find their solutions.ย 

Thank you.

One of the most celebrated advantage of OSS is that, it's code can be modified to suit the local requirements.ย  Regular software updates (which is essential for maintaining security) makes this job tricky. For example if your library's acquisition procedure is different the default workflow in Koha, you may have to tweak the code according to your requirement. You may have to take some programming help for doing this. Now after a few months, a new version of Koha is released and you will find yourself not in a position to update your instance because you will lost all the modified code. If you do update, you can't be sure whether the modified codes will work with the new version. This is quite an OSS dilemma.
