Hmm- I think that if Wordpress goes the Drupal route, I'd definitely give up Wordpress. The idea of having to take down plug-ins and (possibly) restructuring the SQL database is horrible! It's like doing a reformat and reinstall every upgrade. This is profit-losing downtime for many webmasters

I would agree with Sridhar on this regard.

That will have both advantages (efficienct code, modern features) and disadvantages (backward compatibility w/ plugins, themes). I think the developer community of Drupal is much more than that of WP. So they can afford to choose that model.

BTW, speaking of Drupal, I've started a series of posts on how to create a Drupal powered site for scratch including screencasts. Chk it out: http://www.sridhareena.com/...
