Competition is good for everyone as long as the competition provides fundamental choice instead of two similar alternatives so I will drink to it.

We'll see over the next couple of releases. I haven’t seen what WordPress is doing since 2.3, I think, but I think Habari will compete in this area pretty well, actually.

However, one of the goals of the Habari Community is to maintain security and privacy while keeping things simple to use. We have an update beacon system, which will not require a theme or plugin to be hosted on Habari's servers to function. It is still under development at this stage, but it's been part of our plan from very early stages. Another of our goals is a stable enough API that plugins will not have to be replaced with every upgrade. While the API should continue to grow, we feel that its stability is also important to the project. We appreciate the time you've taken to check out Habari, and would love any feedback on how we can implement a stable and non-intrusive upgrade system as we go forward.
