Re: WordPress
A majority of the plugins do work, and it’s up to each individual author or admin to adjust the plugins that don’t.
The obvious plugin issue with MU is fixed in the trunk from what I understand, so it’s only a matter of time before MU gets bumped to 2.7.1 also.
So what it sounds like you’re saying is that you know the answer to your question, but you don’t really like it so you want to vent a little.
