The infrastructure list received a comment about this item in the
handbook.

After reading it, I was a little confused.  I took a stab at a rewrite
and as it wasn't a section of mine (appears to be marketing) I didn't
want to step on any toes so to speak :)


Title:  With Drupal, you can create for the future.

Drupal has been around for fours years and continues to attract interest
and active developers.  With this track record, you can rest knowing it
will continue to grow and be maintained in the future.  Continued active
development is important for site adoption and planning.  With 'custom
code', you need to know that someone has provided the appropriate
docuemntation or commenting throughout so as not to contribute to
"Maintenence nightmare".

The Internet is in a constant flux of new ideas and methods for
communicating and Drupal is focused on growing with the future and
providing standards compliant solutions.  Take RSS as an example, with
Drupal, you turned on a module.  With the 4.6 release, RSS is now
updated to RSS 2.0 standards.

While we don't know what future web standards or ideas will come often
custom site updates involve a complete rewrite of your code.  With
Drupal you can be sure that it is flexible and modular enough to grow
and easily adapt to those changes.
