Automattic will stop contributing to WordPress after reaching 45 hours a week, “aligning” its contributions to those by WP Engine, and because the lawsuit is taking up their resources.

That’s so petty, I’m actually impressed. Like, it’s VERY hard to end up universally disliked by everyone, but it looks like Matt’s figured out how to do it.
That’s the biggest crybaby nonsense: Oh no, the lawsuit is making us broke. Yes we started this whole thing but it’s not OUR fault! It’s those bad evil private equity firms. Yes, we take equity money too, but not from the BAD firms! Fine! We’ll take our ball and go home!
Also, hilarious because I’m sure all the developers they have on staff are not involved in doing ANY lawsuit anything, though if they are, I’m going to watch this even closer since if there’s a group of people that firmly do not understand legal shit more than developers (because developers rightfully expect the rules and procedures to make some sort of damn sense) I don’t know who it’d be.
