will stay that way.

True. True. ; That's why I orignally said:

"After spending the week in Vancouver, I made the following report to our management team. ; If we are to go forward using Drupal, we need a dedicated support-and-development team of 3 people. (And my eyeball prediictions of such things are ususally pretty accurate.)  The team lead will have, as one of his/her main responsibilities, the  task of being  our public face  within the Drupal community. 

"This includes going to events, encouraging contributions of code, and helping with documentation.  This is crucial, because without being a valued member of the community, all you'll ever really have is your own Drupal fork to support. 

"If your organization goes forward with the idea of contributing patches to core, helping document Drupal, and so forth, then you will have a voice in future Drupal development."

But then the thread got hijacked by my "scalability" issues...

And thanks to everyone for some great material which I have diligently copied and forwarded to out sysadmins and dba.
