The document describes the typical progression of Drupal deployment strategies as developers gain experience. It notes that initially, setting up each new Drupal site involved a rigorous manual process of downloading, installing, and configuring Drupal and modules. Over time, as developers took on more projects, they evolved strategies like creating reusable base site templates and integrating team development workflows to streamline the process.
