Reliable sources claim that Matt Mullenweg is being sacked from Automattic.
WordPress.org being Matt's "personal website", running on the company's infrastructure and wp-admin on self hosted sites depending on that domain name being reachable to work at all, this could have far reaching consequences.

@phillycodehound @404mediaco when you are a government official or one of the co-foundes, this is the offer you get when you're forced to resign. Matt just isn't taking the hint.
