It's a common experience, to go to a website and find some geekified feature ... wagging the dog.

This is one of the ways that it 'comes out', in computers & software, that the person who plays the 'engineer' in the field tends to become (or clearly feels he should be) the de facto 'executive' or leader & Decider-In-Chief, to a much stronger degree than ... normal.

The infamous character in the TV sit-com All in the Family, Archie Bunker, didn't need to explain to other family members (or visitors) that the best chair in the living room was HIS. Major computer projects suffer, because too many supporting cast members feel that they have as valid a claim to the Big Chair, as Archie.

Some will wince at the Archie Bunker metaphor. But those who object most-strongly, invariably are those who will most-benefit. Or know (or should know) that their claim to Leadership & Command is illegitimate.

It's good to see here, that Matt Mullenweg continues to recognize that preemptive access to the Big Chair is the key to the whole drama.
