I find it abhorrent that this supposed “Press Release� was not only on the wordpress development blog but continues to display in every WordPress user’s dashboard as if it were fact. On top of that, when you try to go to wordpress support to confirm that it is indeed an april fool’s joke, you’ll get the equally unprofessional error message of, “WordPress.org is taking a lunch break.� (the entire site is down).

Anyone else find this to be in rather poor taste?

If anyone ever catches me using the word ‘abhorrent’ in relation to blog software, they have my official permission to slap me around the head and advise me to get a sense of proportion. That is all.
