This is absolutely insane and such a disgusting abuse of power by Matt Mullenweg. I have clients using WP Engine and now they can't easily install plugins or update themes. #WordPress

So how hard would it be to configure a #WordPress install to look somewhere other than .org for updates? And to copy the repos and APIs needed? Why am I asking? No particular reason.

Steve Perry The sad part is that this whole debacle is easily resolved: get w.org transitioned to community governance, and establish clear, non-arbitrary infra cost sharing. Decouple w.org as a single POF by open sourcing the plugin/update systems.

I just realized what's wrong with "Coronation Starscream" -- it has both feet! (If you're part of the small niche that understands this joke call me we should be buds)

A gentle reminder: someone staying with Automattic doesn't necessarily mean they agree with Matt, just as someone leaving doesn't necessarily mean they disagree. Life is complicated, the job market is rough, big lump sums of cash are tempting.

Did someone at WPE run over Matt's dog? I'm still trying to figure out exactly why he's gone so gonzo and am running out of ideas. #wpdrama

I see words no longer mean things. (As I understand it, this also means that you can now see users you've blocked in your timeline if you're mentioned by them. Which is probably even dumber than the thing they called out.)
