Maybe the problem is that development is decentralized and done off-site? For each each website, or component is built by separate, often lucrative contract. On one hand developers re-invent the wheel knowing that they financially benifit from the bloat, on the other hand they feel little responsibility for their often weighty work.

Can we do something crazy like centralize our software development or have these administrative positions electable? If you can run for town dog catcher, maybe that asshole who made the WordPress site should also stand for office!
