Description:
It is too early to say what the outcome will be in the ongoing fight between Automattic and WPEngine , but the WordPress community at large is already the loser. Automattic founder and CEO Matt Mullenweg has been using
his control of the project, and the WordPress.org infrastructure, to
punish WPEngine and remove some dissenting contributors from discussion channels. Most recently, Mullenweg has instituted a hostile fork of a
WPEngine plugin and the forked plugin is replacing the original
via WordPress updates.
