Antechinus:
TBH I've never found updating to be a problem, unless you're talking about running a beta or RC (which require a full update pack, etc). If you're running one of the stable versions then 99 (or at least 95) times out of 100 an update patch wont cause any issues. If it does cause an issue, usually it's only a minor one which is easily fixed. This applies even if the site is running quite a few mods too.

@Omalina: taking about theming?
Labradoodle-360:
Sounds to me like he is indeed talking about theming. I do agree that more of the template pieces could have either their own files or functions to make theming and even modding the themes easier, although theme hooks could take care of a lot of that, too.
live627:
Consolidating several templates will help TREMENDOUSLY in that regard.
Arantor:
I'm not sure it will, actually. One of the biggest problems with doing that is custom themes end up replacing a lot more than they need to.
Breaking templates up into smaller pieces and having them assembled as necessary afterwards would make life a lot easier.
