Someone please fork WordPress to e.g. WebPublish and sed -i 's/WordPress/WebPublish/' the whole thing and let both of these companies duke it out while we can continue in peace.

Much good could come from this.

Won’t solve problems. Web Publish still needs to run all the infrastructure that Wordpress dot org does.

Not really.

WordPress continues to function in airplane mode with the airplane mode plugin.

And besides, you have to start somewhere. There could be a bunch of independant plugin and theme registries just like there are with Minecraft mods and resource packs. GitHub already serves this purpose for me with WordPress.
