That's definitly true and why I try to leave most of the code as-is
and add nearly no additional modules. I personally like Joomla very
much. There where some annoying security issues in the past but I
still believe in the stable code-base.

The Joomla phpBB bridge is non-invasive and should just work fine. If
someone is interested in testing I could give him/her an account on
gcug.de which will be merged when de.centos.org is going to happen.

This makes use of Fireboard, but I think I could also offer an phpBB
installation. I could also transfer the installation to a testing VM
if someone could grant me access.
