about is an absolute must for me.

I think this discussion needs to go beyond just supporting multiple domains. Both WPMU and Lyceum fall flat on their faces compared to Movable Type and b2evolution when it comes to being to being able to simply put a blog anywhere on a server's filesystem, without being constrained by having all blogs hanging off a single dir or using subdomains. I described this problem in some detail here:

Movable Type and b2evolution can output any blog to any location on the filesystem - any domain, any subdomain, any directory. Total freedom for administrators running multi-purpose servers.

MT can do it because it spits out static HTML.

b2 can do it because it provides for a "stub" index you can drop into any directory, which invokes the rest of the centralized b2 installation.

I strongly urge Lyceum developers to study and implement something like the b2 model. It would put so many of these questions to rest for once and for all. Doing so would also give Lyceum a nice leg up on WPMU, which also fails this test miserably.
