This is an unfortunate situation. While WP Engine could have been a better actor here, the way Automattic have gone about this has made things vastly worse for everyone using Wordpress.

As an aside, I’m curious if Wordpress.org are bound to allow WP Engine access to their plugin SVN under some sort of estoppel theory in U.S. law? 72 hours seems like it’d be too short notice for WP Engine to mirror everything, no?
