I wonder what they consider to be 'Drupal' about it. Is there a CMS architecture to copy? A well-thought API specification for plugins? Some decisive way of templating and configuration that has set a standard for every new CMS to come?
In other words: wouldn't it be better to try and improve it, instead of making the same mistakes Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal all made and try for some real extensibility?

My first serious web app was a ZenCart install that I deleted, but whose database I kept and wrapped with some surgical Common Lisp code. Database-driven software is easy to phase out, and even if the UI is all gone, the original design remains in the form of data model, API and protocols.
