What was making Drupal stand out then is what, in many ways, still sets it apart today: a large set of ready-to-use building blocks, backed up by a community of dedicated maintainers. Over the years, that community has taken on some of the most complex problems for a content management system. Things like extensible data modeling, multilingualism, a performant caching system or safe deployment of configuration changes are not just Drupal specificities but, in many ways, they are what defines the content management industry in the first place. Thanks to their relentless efforts, people have fought for the heart of that community in order to have their own proposals, their own take on those defining problems, being adopted by the larger audience. We have all witnessed a few of those struggles and, in one way or another, rooted for one or the other school of thought. I remember championing across several DrupalCons for an efficient, features-driven deployment process myself, until the Conf...
