In reply to Jeffrey.

But it only takes one bad transition to affect hundreds of thousands of sites. I do not blame the plugin team for "failing" to catch what happened. We (the collective WordPress community) need to come to grips with the fact that we're going to need to place some governance on plugins/themes, that it can no longer be the Wild West. That's fine when you're small and not important. When you become a critical component to the infrastructure of the entire Web, the Wild West becomes dangerous.
