Level 2

So what’s next with Matt and his toys?

So, with Matt loosing this first skirmish in the WPE fight, I have to wonder what Matt and his investor overlords will do long term here. If they can’t chase out other VC/PE money from the WordPress hosting business, what’s next?

Do they change the WordPress business model away from open source?

Do they change the structure of the Foundation and how the community contributes?

Do they push things into Core that tilts the scales in favor of hosts and developers that have kissed the ring?
