Definitely stay away from anything Matt Mullenweg is involved in. Part of what led up to this was a feud he had with a plug-in author, that led to Mullenweg signing his own plug-in as an update to the original author's plug-in, in the official Wordpress plug-in repository.

Not just (forking and) signing, but considering he runs the "official WordPress plug-in repository" as well, he pretty much conducted a supply chain attack.


That anyone still uses Wordpress after such a horrendous breach of trust is beyond me.


it'll be around for decades, you don't power ~1/3 of the internet and just disappear overnight
