I think Calvin was advocating the general concept, not the specific
implementation. I'm sure we can find an open-source, locally-hostable
comment system that requires only PHP, HTML4/XHTML1, and
CSS<=2 (and if we can't, I'm sure I'm not the only one here
capable of creating such a system if it turns out to be both useful
and necessary).

It uses disqus for the comments, for which I have mixed feelings. I'd
rather not relay on external services for parts of the website.

Basically - why is is this so bad?
Depends on what we're trying to achieve. Dynamic pages ease certain
types of collaboration and user-added content, but static pages are not
intrinsically evil and put less of a load on the server.
