[wp-hackers] Isn't it a problem for WP that it is so strictly attached to a specific domain?

[Alex Rayan]

Also, could be related to the serialized data that has a domain specified;
hence, moving from domain a to domain b would be simple only if the number
of characters of domain a and domain b are the same.
But there are some plugins out there to help changing serialized data as
well, for example, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-migrate-db/
Haven't tested it myself though.
