@jalefkowit I agree that the way Wordpress dot org handled it was terrible, but they seem to have good reasons for this. If you build your entire business upon a free open source project and you make it a policy to not contribute to it despite your pledges, then you shouldn't be surprised if it sours your relationship with the project. WP Engine isn't a normal case. They were exceptionally against contributing to the open source project they relied upon.

Re the ongoing #WordPress drama, I will just observe that when you are a platform vendor, the number one most important thing you have to provide is stability.@jalefkowit Wordpress dot org is not a platform vendor. It at most provides a repository for automatic updates. I think WP Engine should take this as an opportunity to send a PR for adding the ability to use a different server to pull the updates from (assuming such functionality doesn't exist yet).
