Reason being, I'd like to eventually upgrade to Drupal 7 and make use of what I hear is the new core "Profile 2". I'm not fond of user data being stored as node data. Is there a reasonable way to get any data from Content Profile and integrate that with the core profile? Or would it entail something manual with the raw database using MySQL queries?

You could probably go the export -> import route. Use something like node_export or views bonus to export the content profile data and something like user_import or node_import (which supports profiles also) to get it back into core profile fields).

Thanks. I was thinking in terms of SQL statements, but modules could make things easier. On another forum it was suggested to wait until we upgrade to Drupal 7 as that would entail some toil in of itself anyway.

The with doing via SQL is that you have to make sure you get all the little parts and pieces right-- if you use modules to import/export you don't have to worry about that.

And yes, if you have d7 on the horizon you definitely don't want to go to d6 core profile module which is a dead end. I'm staying with content_profile until there's a solid upgrade path to profile2.
