 In a sense. What I see DrupalCom trying to do is to extract a bunch
 of the common actions needed for a basic level 3 site. 
 If that common set of tasks includes asking the same question
 and creating the same kind of content, then you can abstract 
 those parts that are common. 

 We all know that we want to have a "contact page" and so when
 we are working on asking questions, we ask the details we need
 to know to make that page happen.

 If we can identify the skeleton of the pages that we expect
 to be around, then we can include those into the process.

 And if we can abstract the common questions, 
 then we might actually be able to build a site,
 which if the drupalCom is set up on it, you can just
 answer a bunch of questions, and poof the complete 
 simple version of the skeleton site is up and going.
