@pfaffman, I can see the validity of that in some circumstances.

In my case, we will be developing other member-only features within the Wordpress site, from member-only standard pages to mini web-apps. And we already have a separate web app + API that we plan to sync to the Wordpress DB, treating Wordpress as the master.

In this scenario, my instinct is to make Wordpress the master rather than Discourse.
