     It looks Matt Mullenweg has ordered WordPress.org servers (managed by automattic) to block servers using the IP ranges owned by WP Engine.
     
     That means that people trying to use wordpress servers installed in WP Engine servers can't no longer access to plugins, themes, or updates, for example
     
     This is despicable.
     
     This is breaking entirely with the principles of open source. It's ghoulish.
