In reply to Weston Ruter.

Marten is right.

AMP hasn't seen any significant uptake in people using it for non-publishing sites because it just doesn't fit the purpose. The whole point of AMP is that once a page is considered 'AMP ready', Google can then get a cache of the site and serve it straight from Google servers instead.

It also means they can serve whatever ads they feel like. I'm all for new and exciting projects to be worked on that aren't Gutenberg for a change, but AMP now...? It's just constant bloating it seems with features nowadays that don't serve a purpose for 80% of users on 30% of the web using WordPress.

Also, Weston, it's a little bit on the nose to say that...

If/when AMP is proposed for core, it will be done openly. We first have to prove the value of the AMP

Gutenberg did not have an open merge proposal which was originally confirmed by the team over and over. Excuse me if I find it hard to believe that AMP won't go the same way. It's incredibly frustrating to see the same people at the top get their own way in this so-called community and disregard the voices of others.
