I'm not saying it's the case here, but I've seen several times where an 
organization needs a person but really has no idea what kind of person 
to get (they usually fired the last one for personal reasons), HR will 
request an inventory of current systems in use , and advertise a 
laundry list, tacking on "5 years" to everything.

I really doubt the Oasis group is clueless, and even if they were Greg 
would filter that, but prospective applicants might see this job 
posting as one of the above.  So from a 'marketing for new employees' 
perspective it might be wise to craft it a bit differently.  If this 
_is_ just a laundry list for recruiters to use for qualifying then 
that's different.
