I know I'm a week behind about this, but I just came across the link via Gadgetopia: Open-source PHP applications that changed the world. The CMS related applications that were determined world changers are listed below.

PHP-Nuke - 1999
eZ Publish - 2000
osCommerce - 2000
phpBB - 2000
Gallery - 2001
Drupal - 2001
MediaWiki - 2002
WordPress - 2003
Joomla! - 2005
Magento eCommerce - 2007

When you split the list into three sections, you get the feeling that PHP-Nuke, ezPublish, and osCommerce have been around for a very long time. More importantly, you begin to think that it is time for Gallery, Drupal, and MediaWiki to either be seen as mature applications or for those applications to finally grow up.
