Had to look up what "BDFL" meant.

Even if the dude tries to paint the internet with Wordpress's brains, I'm confident I will have time (and the impetus, finally) to find an acceptable alternative for my workflow. I'm open to suggestions.

Also, as I mentioned to a sibling response, the upkeep really is not that much work. It's a personal blog and takes a grand total of three (maybe four) clicks to update every once in a while.
