Hmmm an interesting point of view Matt. One man's
meat and so on.
But as the guy has a brief to use Joomla, Wordpress is not really
an option. If you alter key files - Joomla or WP - then upgrading
is a mare.
As ever, it depends on what you want to do with them. For the past few
years, the bulk of WordPress's big issues have been user privilege
escalation exploits, so if you want a 'membership' site, you need to
think about who you actually trust... and then use something else for
the bits that actually need membership.
I haven't touched Joomla in a while, but I think you're right: third
party stuff can have problems long after issues with the main releases
are sorted.
