They added a checkbox to the wordpress.org login page https://login.wordpress.org/ stating "I am not affiliated with WP Engine in any way, financially or otherwise.", you can't login to the site without checking it.

And very importantly: no one knows what that checkbox means and what are the consequences of checking it.

Matt also bans anyone who asks about it.

Including in the (rather common!) context of developers who maintain sites hosted on WPE.

You must agree on sign up that you're not affiliated with WP Engine. WP has been having a spat with WP engine.
