They do not officially support mods/hacks....that is correct. They provided importers because they are selling a new product and want to boost sales. The blog product is a stand alone product and sales would rely on an importer. The SN portion however will be free and included in the next release of vBulletin. The sales of vBulletin will be affected by less than .01% if they did not have an importer for an enhancement to their latest version.

I for one released the myspace rewrite hack and would most definitely switch and move over to vBulletins version providing it was more streamlined, integrated and proved to be better and wouldnt blink an eye to lose my current profiles over it. It will be easier for the end user in the long run.
