If you're just talking about adding/removing users within wordpress when a transaction occurs or they expire that's something I think would be a good addition to NATS, and if you're interested in getting it done let me know.
If you're talking about treating existing wordpress users differently depending on access levels it gets a bit more involved can vary greatly from instance to instance. Not that it's not doable or we can't discuss it in that case, but it gets much more complicated to add as a "core feature".

Personally I am tired of dealing with the constant updates, security issues and other stuff that seems to accompany Wordpress, but that's just me, clearly Wordpress has a lot of fans. The problems are likely not because it's bad software just because its so widespread it's a constant target.
Dispite my current fatigue there was a time not too long ago I would have seen big dollar signs if there was a way to control user access to premium posts while plugging in recurring billing and tracking affiliate commissions via NATS.
It's a free CMS that's easy to use, looks great if you don't intentionally make it ugly, has a ton of features and more add-ons than anything I know of and it's most people's first script when they start playing weekend webmaster.
So yeah, I don't see how it wouldn't be a plus for TMM to have a way to add billing, affiliate tracking and user management to it, might attract a lot of startup paysites, hell seems nearly half the internet runs on Wordpress so quite a few longstanding sites might decide to go premium that way.
