About CiviCRM Page

I wonder why http://civicrm.org/aboutcivicrm says:

Quote
Shared hosting is not an ideal environment for CiviCRM and is actively discouraged. We encourage users to consider Virtual Private Servers (VPS) OR (semi) dedicated hosting.

I am, obviously, of a different opinion, yet I support my opinion with a set of very successful CiviCRM sites on shared hosting.

Can I ask why is this the official stance of the CiviCRM team?

that is a generic statement, and was primarily due to the large number of issues we had with folks  hosting their site on dreamhost/site5 etc

i suspect there are a few shared hosts out there that are acceptable and do provide decent performance (for at least some time)
