When are people going to realise that MM is not a benevolent dictator and demand the urgently needed reform of WordPress governance?

This data is commercially important to plugin developers, including Automattic, and he’s just taken it away from everyone but his own company.

He’s ignoring lots of questions from developers and business owners and making ridiculous demands that WE justify why we should be able to see the data that had been there for years.

A strike sounds like a great idea – no more plugin updates, no more support, no more core contributions, no more WordCamp attendance it sponsorship until the data is restored.
