1) Maybe... I haven't even looked at their code base. I do code less complex systems by nature because I design custom code. A custom designed system only needs to perform a fixed set of functionality and doesn't require "hooks" to be left in the code for plugins, extensions, etc...
The problem with Wordpress and other large open source scripts is that they have to code for EVERYTHING for every single option that anyone might need. This causes a LOT of useless code to be run at all times... which is why I have the aversion to large open source scripts like Wordpress. In addition, for each one of these options and hooks that are left open in the code for plugins or whatever else the likelihood of introducing bugs compounds exponentially...
Also, the majority of exploits come from sloppy plugin code... Something which they have no control over.
