Ah - yes..... their [Eprint/Southampton] problem is developer time: 10 years ago, Southampton had a dozen people working on the code.
Now the money for these projects has dried up, and the research money has moved elsewhere.... there's not the developer time to do big re-writes.... *THAT* is why 3.4 is so slow

Yes, and that one is still version 3.3.x . Version 3.4 has been promised since end of 2014 on various occasions (UK user group meetings, OR2016), but now we just have hosted version (that's the managed availability option) we should have to pay for. There are many institutions that host themselves EPrints repositories due to many reasons - shall they not be able to update anymore?
