He's lost his mind! Customising the admin dashboard has been something WordPress multisite hosts have been doing for 15+ years! There are tons of plugins on WordPress.org that provide this specific feature. And if you don't want a plugin, you can develop it yourself using supported WordPress-provided dashboard hooks: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_dashboard...

Same with post revisions - you can download plugins to customise this, or you can do it yourself with WordPress-supported functionality: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/revisions/

Where is the contract that WP Engine signed, that says they must display posts from their competitors calling them a cancer in their customer's websites? I'm really lost for words - I have no explanation for what's going on in Matt's head.

There isn't one. Just like there isn't one that says they can download plugins et al from their competitors' website.

This is open source. They're free to fork WordPress, set up a competing app store, etc.

WordPress.org is not a competitor to WP Engine.

Despite Matt claiming that WP Engine is a "cancer", WP Engine have supported WordPress for a long time, both through financial contributions and code contributions - even sponsoring the same WordCampUS conference where Matt launched his attack.

Competitor? How is wordpress.org a competitor?
