In reply to Terence.

Sorry, Terence, but the fact that Matt refers to WordPress as a CMS doesn't mean what you think it does. He's just using a phrase that resonates with others -- and it's handier than "software for creating blogs and websites."

What's telling in those quotes is that he doesn't talk about developing features that promote WP as a CMS. And that's because that's not where his interest lies. It never has.
