    That’s how I see it exactly. Matt, as one of few people in the world with the voice and reach to do so, is trying to protect and help support the WordPress ecosystem.

    Let’s not forget to follow the money, obviously WPE and Silver lake are going to do everything in their power to make him, and by association, anything he’s a part of, look like the bad guy.

      Didn’t wordpress sell their stake in wp engine to silver lake?

      Seems weird to get upset about it now

        Reasonable. I do disagree with the ACF redirect, but not cloning it. That was a dumb move. Also, could have been an open letter to the community or something, not the quick (seemingly) retaliatory moves
