I repeat my opinion: Due to the faster release cycle, Drupal isn't something that should be part of a software distribution which has a long release cycle.
Rather then asking to drop Drupal, we should try to work with them. We should make it easier for distributions to package, install, update and maintain Drupal sites. There is a lot of overlap with what hosting companies need to provide mass Drupal hosting. That alone makes this important to get right. The .install files, the update script and the installer could take some burden of the package maintainers (but might need a command line extension so they can be hooked into their tools). -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
