Imagine WordPress consolidate all WordPress developers and designers, then match with all projects inquiries that the page collected. Such move is actually helping more freelancers to focus on technical work, and let WordPress to do the sales funnel and marketing.

And because of the price range and limited manpower, other WordPress agency can still leverage on the marketing path done by WordPress.

In short, expand WordPress market, not to compete with each other within the same circle is the key. Convert new or non-WordPress website will be the main focus.

Just my two cents.
