Note that Drupal 7 already moves submitted by out of the theme and onto the content types form, but doesn't provide as much control as this module does. So for Drupal 7 this module is simply enhancement, not potentially unholy non-Drupal way of doing things.
I thought I had heard from someone at Drupalcon that D7 did split these fields out. The core handling is better than it was, but still doesn't allow you to display a node's post date without the author name, without writing some code.
Correction: the Display Suite module breaks out these fields so that they can be positioned separately. That will probably be a good solution for people like me that just want to split out author and post date.

einkahumor commentedI'd love to see a d7 version of this module. One thing I'd really like to see is a way to rearrange user pictures and signatures on the user forms.
