@shawnhooper so since this service just points to packages on wordpress.org, and given the bad blood between Matt and WPEngine, we should expect that they will somehow try to block its use, though I’m not entirely sure if that is technically possible, given it’s just Composer on your machine doing the request.

@401matthall I can't blame you for not being able to keep up. It's exhausting.

@shawnhooper

💯 So much this. And it's just one of the dozens and dozens of things to keep up with.

This is a silly career.

@401matthall WPE is the one that Matt Mullenweg doesn't own. So, better?

I'm hoping FAIR gets some traction. The decentralized model would be great! https://github.com/fairpm
