Looking more at Mullenweg's blog, it seems as if he feels that WP engine has destroyed his baby on different levels. 1 - that WP engine strips down WordPress and doesn't sell "WordPress" and 2nd that his own mother thought WP engine was the owner of WordPress (his blog mentions this outright). To me, Mullenweg is angry because they have "taken" his baby, and made it something it's not meant to be (in his vision). What do you think? I've also seen a few mentions calling for Mullenweg to step down. What're your thoughts on that as well?
Stepping down is extreme. I'm much more interested in context and information about what led up to this. It all might be warranted but I'm not sure yet. Matt did answer a few questions tonight on a Twitter "conference call" or whatever X calls it. The verdict is out though...
I think this is well summed up. It's helpful to get your context. The code of conduct point is quite pertinent.
I wish I had more context. IMHO, Matt has not done a stellar job on defending his case. It all might be warranted but I don't have details.
