"I won’t bore you with the story of how WP Engine broke thousands of customer sites yesterday in their haphazard attempt to block our attempts to inform the wider WordPress community regarding their disabling and locking down a WordPress core feature in order to extract profit.

What I will tell you is that, pending their legal claims and litigation against WordPress.org, WP Engine no longer has free access to WordPress.org’s resources.

If you read the full (pretty short) statement, it comes of as something written at the end of a bad day with a lot of petty and vindictive emotion behind it all. Regardless of the actual issues, which I know no more of than the statement on the website.
