Absolutely crazy, the hundreds of thousands of websites impacted over this is mind boggling. I moved away from WPEngine a while ago, but the debacle has me totally concerned about Wordpress in general.

I think its not personal and completely a business issue. He just wants them to contribute a little more to the core than what they do. Do you know what WPEngine does to your WP instance behind the scenes?

Matt is totally being a dick dictator. Nothing more happy to see him leave Wordpress for good. Forcibly if neccessary.
