Matt Mullenweg is obsessed with polling

No he’s not. If he was, there wouldn’t be over a hundred threads in the wp.com support forums asking for polls without any answer by him. They’ve been asking for poll support for years.

We are a large media company that has been using their product for approx 8 plus months. They regularly release code, schedule maintenance without notifying clients of impact of impact of said maintenance and releases. If and when they do communicate it is usually through their blog and only about stuff like this aforesaid acquisition. I'm getting a lot of pressure from our editors and content team to look elsewhere for a more reliable app. hopefully acquisition by WordPress will improve communication with their customer base.
