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
No need for WPE to do anything for him to look like the bad guy imho
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
The ACF takeover is the cherry on top for me. Fork it all you want, but to force users to upgrade to your version looks bad on them. That's literally a supply chain attack and they have shown to be willing to do whatever they want to their users.
