Pretty much. I know several admins who appear to be joining a growing pool of luddites who rail against anything new. They're particularly butt-mad about anyone drawing more salary than them. "DevOps" is their favored totem to direct their ire at.
I used to try and convince them otherwise, but it turned out to be a completely futile waste of time. At the end of the day, persistent FUD just means a more lucrative job market for the engineers who are pragmatic and fearless enough to give an honest try at making the newer paradigms work for their employers.
You know all those people who say, "Never rewrite a project! It'll always fail and take forever and cost too much and..."? I've spend much of the last decade getting paid reasonably well rewriting their projects. (Anyone remember mod_perl 1.x?)
