[consulting] CMS comparison

[Andrew M. Cohill]

The upgrade to 4.6 was extremely painful.  On five sites I was  
supporting, I was unable to correctly upgrade any of them, even though  
all of them were very ordinary.  I had to pay someone to straighten  
them out.  The biggest problem was the very confusing and error prone  
database upgrade, which did not work correctly on any of the sites.

There has to be a balance between innovation and maturity.  Innovation  
helps Drupal grow in usability and depth.  Maturity helps Drupal site  
managers grow the Drupal base and offer robust and reliable solutions  
to users.
