Regardless of what anyone thinks about the issue, we don’t editorialize in headlines.

Would you mind posting what would be the better headline instead of a shallow dismissal of it?

I actually struggled with a good one and felt this is the most fair take when seen in context of

A) Matt's post <8 hours before this disclosure saying

> "I suspect there are going to be millions of sites moving away from it in the coming weeks."[0].

B) WordPress has banned WP Engine from updating the plugin on the repo.

Maybe "Automattic announces responsible disclosure of safety issue in WP-Engine-plugin" or something like that? It's pretty clear that they are doing it maliciously but I don't think it should be put in the title as if it's a confirmed fact.

I would have liked to make it "WP-Engine-developed plugin" or something like that because it's not specifically a WP Engine plugin, but the title length limit is 80 chars, right?

This one doesn't have a natural title. Then we let the community judge whether we've been clickbaited in regards to the mismatch between title and this tiny tweet.
