Well, WP is just a program written in PHP.
replyOne of the most common PHP based applications out there, therefore a good comms channel (via their forums and any mailing lists, both public and for people who have managed instances with them or are otherwise paying for support contracts) to make sure people are aware of the need to update. That would make the company one worth keeping in the loop, if only in one direction, I would have thought?
replyWell, it would help if WP were actually controlled by one entity, but currently it's dominated by factions and infighting.
replyFair point. I thought that had died down, though for some years I've not had reason to keep particularly informed about the state of WP so I could be missing a lot of hot gossip.
replyThey have hosted instances as well though. Not sure their market share though.
replyBecause the CEO of Wordpress has gone insane, basically.
replyAutomattic is on the list, tho.

replyWordPress is down right now. A bit late for patching though ...
replyI agree, WordPress should be like the first thing they point out. I'd imagine most WordPress users don't even know it runs on PHP
