No one should risk an unknown entity taking illegal control of a key plugin on their site. I can't imagine anyone wanting WP.org to weaponize more plugins on their site.
Are you being sarcastic or a jerk?
No issues? At least 50 deleted reviews spoke for themselves!
Yeah, you didn’t produce any “technical” issues other than now maintaining a plugin that isn’t yours to start with, gathering thousands of positive reviews that aren’t yours, and selling it as a security fix which you didn’t fix.
I don’t understand how you can even show your face in public.
You and your fellow matticians are a shame to the entire open source community.
I'm so glad to see such a positive step in this conflict. It really shows how much Matt genuinely cares about the community and how he's willing to take the higher ground. WP Engine sent a cease-and-desist to WP.org, and Matt decided to keep providing the free service to them temporarily, prioritizing end users, even though it increases his costs for WP.org, and without WP Engine stepping back on the trademark infringements.

Yes. Saying "We have generously decided to give you 72 hours to figure out how to mirror all this content, actually mirror it, and then plug it in, before we reinstate a block affecting your end users again. Oh, yes, I do realize it's 3pm PT on Friday afternoon and the clock is ticking, no, not 3 business days, we're turning the block back on at 4pm PT on Monday afternoon" is entirely positive, empathetic to those users, and shows genuine care for the community...
Or maybe not.

Despite you saying so in multiple places here, WPEngine did not fire the first shots in this shitshow.
It would be fantastic if people could open a topic there or a thread on Slack if they face any issues.
