@Jeffro - Yeah, I could see that happening eventually. I suspect they'll hold off until either this plugin or a similar one is proven to be up to the task of running the codex.

I do find it bizarre that the official WordPress shop is not powered by WordPress ... http://shop.wordpress.net/world/. All they need to do is install the WP e-Commerce plugin to a bog standard WP install and bam! you have a WordPress powered e-Commerce store. Using another piece of software to power the site just seems wrong to me.
