[support] General Drupal question

[Warren Vail]

I notice you didn't suggest Taxonomy as a solution for Departments, is 
that something we can look forward to seeing depricated soon?  Are there 
trends of this kind showing up in Drupal discussions? You know, things 
on the way in, things on the way out?  Perhaps you can give us a list of 
each?
