@Dgold - This is an impossibility. Even if WordPress itself were secure and locked up, what's to stop a MySQL vulnerability or one within PHP itself to allow your site to be compromised? You would need to lock down the server including all of the associated technologies WordPress uses for that to happen which in my opinion is too counter-productive.

@mwaterous - I think there are improvements to be made, but is the WordPress team going to do things in such a way that they throw everything they've got at the site administrator to get them to upgrade without introducing automation? The point, you could tell someone how to do something 500 times and they still don't get it. I think there are a large group of WordPress users that fall into this camp.
