i saw Pippin's general email discussing it. This looks like the opportunity for him get out of WP so he can focus on the brewery. I've wondered for a while what his exit strategy may be - appears we now know.
(Reminded me i still need to get in touch with him for lunch. ... text sent.)
I know that many developers have been looking for "exits" after some of the directions with the "block editor" that Automattic has been forcing upon the WordPress ecosystem. The consolidations are crazy and I'm afraid are just going to cause prices to rise.
