Hope I'm not too late to the party. This is the first time I've read a link about the Wordpress spat; mostly because ... well ... HN is a firehose.
So, "What the heck is going on with WordPress?" IE, does anyone have any links that explain what happened in a neutral, unbiased (within reason) manner?
IE, I certainly respect the opinion in the linked article, but I'm so new to the story that I'm not comfortable agreeing or disagreeing with the points in the article.
