How much interest is there in better unifying Drupal with the native OOP features of PHP?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Introduction

After reviewing the article talking about OOP and Drupal, I think it is time to seriously consider the benefits of adopting the native OOP features of PHP (the core language of Drupal) as an addition to understanding the Drupal-specific conventions created in tribute to the principles of OOP.

PHP is becoming more mature in this area. How much interest is there in this topic?

Perhaps not much, but it seems like this is a topic area of discussion that deserves some consideration.

As a first step, I've undertaken some modifications to a main Drupal article relating to OOP: http://drupal.org/node/547518 comments, criticism and feedback are welcome.
