I'm not laughing. The whole Wordpress ecosystem was shown to instead be the personal fiefdom of a vindictive fool. A fool willing to completely destroy the reputation and trust of the ecosystem for what looks and smells like a personal vendetta.
The whole idea of the separate entities of Wordpress.org, the Wordpress Foundation (which we learned is somehow not the same as Wordpress.org) and Wordpress.com (through Automattic) is nothing more than a smokescreen. If you're in the business of competing with Automattic in delivering Wordpress hosting, start building an exit plan.
