How many people here have gone the whole 9 yards and swapped out pretty much all of the mechanics?
* Hitpoints & Damage
* Combat
* Magic System
* Attributes
* Skills (How they work / how they improve over time)
* Classes / Leveling up
* Equipment and Items / Encumbrance
* Getting Magical Items
* Item Creation
* d20 (using other dice in place of it)
* Alignment
I've written variant rules for all of those things (maybe more), which all together is only D&D in spirit. And honestly, I've only been playing for little over a year. So I just figure there would be others that have also replaced the entire underlying mechanics as well, right?

I don't think anyone has swapped out all of that package. (At that point you might as well simply go to another game system.)
Monte Cook scrapped alignment but pretty much kept everything else in Arcana Evolved although some bits underwent heavy modification.
When I get to the point that I can't stand D20 style mechanics, I play something completely different.
