    I like this as a middlefinger to Matt, but it does ultimately primarily just hurt innocent wp.com users who shouldn't have to be dealing with this. I really don't foresee this taking off to the extent that it would need to in order to negatively impact Matt financially. It might piss him off though, which is certainly a small victory. Maybe he'll overreact in a way that bites him in the ass later?

      This should be tit-for-tat for the action which Automattic blocks WP Engine customers from accessing WP.org infra, causing some of them to move hosts. If perhaps the community boycott WP.com then either WP has to crack the plugins or the customers has to move to other hosts.
