Software stack (solution stack) is a type of technology stack. Since technology stacks can consist of a mix of software and hardware (and software stacks on their own aren't so much more important than other types of technology stacks that they should have a separate article) I propose that the solution stack be merged into technology stack.

"Solution stack" is obviously not a valid term, as it's meaningless and not at all common. It seems to me that next, one needs to establish whether technology stack is even a valid term. Because is there such a thing as a hardware stack? It's widely known that "software stack" is a valid and inherently meaningful term, so should it be called that? The only way i could think of a reason to expand out to the more general phrase "technology stack" is if there's some requisite, nonspecific hardware concept like telecom, which complements software. But usually that refers to a service or a product, which isn't quite a stack; for example, a linux+webserver+wifi+AP hardware and software stack is aka "a router". But "technology stack" isn't wrong and I would want to see some common usage examples or explanation. — Smuckola (talk) 02:51, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think a good first step would be to get rid of this vague article by merging with solution stack, which at the moment covers software stacks in general, which is basically what this article covers. Then a discussion can be opened over whether or not to move it to software stack.

Proposed merge with Solution stack

This article pretty much covers the same topic as solution stack. Sn1per ^(t)(c) 02:58, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
